After all, the only woman he’d ever loved ran out on him without a goodbye. But now Jordan’s back and just as bewitching as ever. Can they rekindle their romance with a town set against them?

She might not be a fighter, but she wasn’t some weak-spined young pup who’d never seen a man before. The only reason she was a virgin was because she was seventeen when she spotted Gideon for the first time, and her wolf had decided that was it. There would be no one else for her. Since then, she’d pushed other men away because she didn’t feel what she should with them. She’d dated, and even gotten far with a couple of wolves and a male witch who lived in the den, but when the time came to get physical, she hadn’t been able to. It had nothing to do with the men and everything to do with who they weren’t.
That didn’t bode well for the rest of her life considering how her wolf was acting right now.
She had a feeling her family had figured something was off with her, too. Sure, her dad was pleased with the fact that she’d never gotten serious with another wolf. Pleased because he’d never had to beat up a poor young pup for being near his precious, perfect daughter—his words, not hers. But even he’d remarked on her lack of a boyfriend recently. He loved her enough to let her go—only there was nowhere for her to go in the first place. Her mother was worried, as were her two younger sisters who were dating wolves and growing up.
Brie, it seemed, would be left behind because her wolf had already chosen, and while submissive, it was too strong for Brie to overrule.

Gideon had been wrong. He wouldn’t die by a betrayal or by something out of his control. No, today he was going to die at the hands of an Alpha and a former Beta who wanted his blood for daring to touch their precious little princess.
He ran a hand over his head and wondered how the hell he’d been put in this position. Was it really less than a week ago that he’d been worrying about lone wolves trying to attack his den and hiding his people from the humans? He was still worrying about all of that, but now, he had a whole new set of demands and problems tacked on to those.
Not that he wanted to call Brie a problem, but what else was he supposed to call her?
The elders had forced his hand, and she had offered herself up like a sacrificial virgin, not knowing she was tempting the beast that lurked beneath his skin.
He froze.

Brie ran her hands through her hair and tried to calm herself down. Her wolf pushed at her, and she pushed back, knowing that if she didn’t start taking deeper breaths, she was going to shift and scare anyone who happened to walk by. Sure, she was in her home, and her roommate, Finn, wasn’t even there, but people would be able to feel the pull of her wolf when she shifted.
It wasn’t like people, including her, didn’t shift all the time within the den, but her wolf was so on edge that it would be like sending out a beacon of distress. And since she was a submissive, all the other more dominant wolves would rush to her because they needed to make sure she was okay.
She didn’t have a problem normally controlling her wolf. In fact, since she didn’t have the extra aggression that some wolves possessed considering their dominant wolves, she had more control than most. Shifting for her—while painful like the others—was also a soothing release where she and her wolf would become one, and she could relax once she was in wolf form.
Now, though, she needed to shift because her wolf wanted to run out of the den and find their mate.
That wasn’t going to happen.

Brynn Brentwood has spent the whole of her life protecting the Talon Pack through terrors only she will ever know. She’s never asked for more in life other than to live to take her next breath and to ensure her family is safe. Regardless of her selfless wishes and the atrocities the former Alpha committed, she has always known that fate would provide for her as it had countless others. Fate is what has carried her through with one exception—upon meeting the one wolf who could be hers, he doesn’t feel their bond.
Finn Jamenson has been broken more than once, left beaten and half dead—and that was before he was an adult and Heir of the Redwood Pack. When called upon to work with their allies, the Talons, he finds himself intrigued with a woman who his wolf doesn’t claim as his own. Though he knows there could be something there, he refuses to tempt himself with a wolf who could never be his when his own mate could waiting for him.
The world changed in a blink of time and now the two wolves must fight as one—ignoring the burning temptation between them—when their people are threatened. With one wrong move, their homes could be destroyed and its up to Finn and Brynn to save them all…if only they could save themselves.
