Nine-year-old Krysta Watson was born an Alpha’s daughter. After her pack is massacred, she watches her brother, Lance, die at the hands of a man he called his friend. Obeying her brother’s final command, she runs, finding shelter in a quiet southern pack and burying her true identity. Believing her family is wiped out, she dedicates her life to one purpose: revenge.
Nathan Torres, the commanding Alpha of the north, is shattered when his best friend Lance’s pack is destroyed. He finds Lance’s body, tormented by his failure to protect him and ignorant of the killer’s identity. They search for Krysta, but when no trace is found, they mark her as another victim of the tragedy.
Nine years later, at a gathering hosted by her guardian Alpha, Krysta’s wolf screams for its mate—one of the visiting Alphas. But Krysta sees only Nathan Torres, the other man she holds responsible for her brother’s death. She immediately tries to sever the bond, but Nathan has spent nearly a decade searching for his mate. His interest burns hotter when he realizes this supposed Omega carries the scent of a hidden Alpha, and he is determined to uncover all her secrets.
With her revenge meticulously planned for years, Krysta is enraged when Nathan demands she accept their bond, threatening the peaceful pack that saved her. Trapped, she agrees to leave with him, submitting to his will but secretly vowing to carry out her revenge, even if it means destroying her own mate.
The truth of Krysta’s identity is a ticking clock, threatening to shatter Nathan the moment he learns his fated mate is the long-lost sister of the friend he failed to save. He’ll have to break through nine years of hardened hate to prove he was never part of the betrayal. As they unravel the conspiracy, Krysta will discover the ultimate treachery comes not from an enemy, but from her own blood, forcing her to lean on the one man powerful enough to help her claim justice.

The truth hits me like a physical blow. Valerie was involved in murdering our family. She didn't just know about it. She participated in their deaths.


The instant Nathan and Miller collide, the sound of battle erupts throughout the packhouse as Nathan's warriors engage. I don't want more bloodshed, more deaths among warriors who once served my family, but Warren keeps positioning himself between Miller and me during their vicious fight in this cramped space. I can't slip past to assess whether they're slaughtering my family's pack or simply subduing them.


Through a gap around Warren's massive frame, I catch sight of the room. Valerie has vanished.


My attention snaps back to Nathan and Miller locked in combat. Nathan possesses the strength to end Miller, but fighting in such tight quarters while shielding me limits his effectiveness. More wolves burst through the doorway, and I dart from behind Nathan toward the entrance.
