72 hours. One broken world. One Alpha who was sent to kill me.

I spent my life in a clinical cage, compartmentalizing my trauma and suppressing my nature to save humanity from the very evolution I helped create. I thought I was safe behind my lab glass until the air turned to ozone and the world began to physically fracture.

Then he arrived.

Commander Sergei Borisov is a lethal Alpha military mind-a strategic shadow sent to neutralize the Syndicate's greatest liability. But when our scents collided, the mission died. Instead of a bullet, he gave me a choice: partner with the man hunting me or watch my own synthetic biology trigger a reproductive apocalypse.

Now, as the clock ticks down to an irreversible cascade, our bond is the only thing anchoring reality. Sergei is primal and possessive, a soldier following orders even when they violate his soul. He says I am his asset. I say he is my only anchor.

He was my hunter. Now, he's the only evolution I crave.
