For as long as Isabel can remember, she’s been a rogue. Her parents are deceased; she has no pack, no mate, and no one at all except for her older brother Ben. She’s grown used to being a nobody, the butt of others’ jokes, and for the most part, alone.

But during a routine errand gone wrong, Isabel stumbles onto a pack’s territory and comes face to face with a fierce—and devastatingly attractive—shifter the likes of which she’s never seen or felt.

Isabel is certain this is her mate. But will he accept her, a nobody rogue? Or will he reject her to maintain his status in his pack?

With growing danger at every turn, Isabel finds herself in the center of a desperate war between amassing rogues and a fearsome pack, working not only to uncover the mystery of what happened to her once-happy family, but to win over the man she is certain is the love of her life.

He steps out of a tree which had been solid wood till a few seconds ago, “Isabel.”


I throw myself into his arms without a second thought, “What took you so long?!”


My heart which I had tried to hold steady till now finally caves at the sight of the one person I desperately wanted to see.


His arms wrap around me, “Are you hurt?! Why did you go?! Are you crazy?! Do you have any idea how worried-”


“They would have killed Fera!” I tighten my arms around him, my face buried in his chest. “I thought I might have a better chance of survival. But the portal didn’t work. And then the other one – It was like Balin knew I was coming.”


Damien pushes me away, enough so that he can look at my face. His eyes are terrifyingly cold, “Do I have to chain you to myself to keep you safe?”


I know he’s angry but all I can feel is relief.


I don’t know what overcomes me but I grab his face in my hands and kiss him.
