Dorothy has spent her life running—away from war, violence, and the wolf inside her. But when she rescues a dying, midnight-black Alpha in a forbidden forest, fate refuses to let her go.
Alpha Joseph has waited twelve years for his fated mate. Injured, vulnerable, and trembling before him, Dorothy is everything he’s been searching for—and he will not let her escape.
Dragged into a world of blood, power, and unyielding loyalty, Dorothy discovers her healing touch is more than compassion—it’s a weapon that could turn the tide of pack wars. But danger lurks everywhere: rival Alphas, ruthless enemies, and the cruel shadows of her past.
Torn between the fierce, possessive love of the Alpha who claims her and the life-threatening chaos of his world, Dorothy must choose: run again—or fight for the home she never knew she wanted.

Relief floods through me when Karl's mind link reaches me about Dorothy. Something deep inside my chest finally loosens after days of tension. I'm still an hour out from Damon's territory, but Oliver drives us harder, leaving our warriors trailing behind in the dust. My mate called for us. Whatever Dean did to her, whatever hell she endured, none of that matters right now. We'll face it together. The only thing that counts is that she's alive and safe.


As we approach Damon's pack lands, I release a howl announcing my arrival. The patrols better understand I'm not stopping for permission or pleasantries. Nothing will keep me from reaching my mate.
