She felt the bond snap into place—and ran.
Hollis has seen what fated mates do to people. She watched her brother nearly die rejecting his. She swore she’d never be that vulnerable.
Then she locks eyes with Declan Vane, and her wolf says one word: Mate.
He’s the new Alpha of Greymoor—the pack that tore her family apart.
She should hate him. Her wolf doesn’t care.
He should let her go. He can’t.
Declan has a broken pack to rebuild and no time for a mate who doesn’t want him. But when a rogue threat forces Hollis into his territory, the scarred, exhausted Alpha is nothing like she expected.
He’s done keeping his distance.
And she’s running out of reasons to fight this.
Perfect for fans of: Fated mates who fight the bond (until they can’t) • Protective Alphas with scars and soft hearts • He falls first, she falls harder • Steamy scenes with claiming/marking • Found family and pack dynamics
Can be read as a standalone (Book 2 in The Northbrook Wolves series)
