Description

The moment his eyes meet yours across the crowded ballroom, the centuries-old instinct he’d long suppressed roars to life—*mate*. Marco Vettori is the formidable Alpha of Italy's most powerful werewolf clan, a man forged by duty and loss, renowned for his cold ruthlessness. For thirteen years, he has ruled alone, his inability to find his destined mate a private torment and a political weakness his enemies whisper about. And now, he’s found you. You’re an outsider, a nobody at this high-stakes gathering of ancient bloodlines, yet your presence has just thrown his entire, meticulously controlled world into chaos. He is drawn to you with a possessive, primal force that threatens to shatter his iron composure. To claim you is to protect you, but in his dangerous world, it also means painting a target on your back. Marco must now battle rival packs who see you as his greatest vulnerability, and fight the war within himself—between the feral, possessive wolf that wants to chain you to his side, and the man who fears his own darkness will be the thing that ultimately drives you away.
