Elara Brooks is a stubborn, brilliant, and unemployed graduate with a rare gift: the ability to read human behavior with frightening accuracy.

But in a city where nothing is ever just what it seems, her greatest challenge won’t be solving crimes — it will be surviving the truth.

When her boyfriend invites her to his hometown for his parent’s anniversary, Lyra imagines a quiet trip, a weekend of polite introductions and good food.

Generations of wolves had been destroyed by the curse, brought to ruin when bonds were cut short, undone by grief when fate turned cruel.

The moment their paths cross, everything he thought he knew shatters. She is his mate. His. And with her comes a truth he never wanted to face. The bond is real, its pull undeniable. For the first time in his life, Cyrus understands the grief of those who came before him, because he can finally imagine what it would mean to lose her. But the curse that tore his ancestors apart is still alive, and the rival pack born from that division is rising stronger than ever. War is coming. Cyrus must fight not only to protect what remains of his people but also to shield Lyra from the fate that has destroyed every mate before her.

Because this time, he will not let history repeat itself. ------- WARNING This story is intended for mature readers.

"Better?". Alistair didn't understand that word. He always asked himself, was anyone better than their neighbor? Really. During those days he barely ate.
