She was framed for murder. He was broken by loss. Fate made them mates anyway.

When eighteen-year-old Valeria flees after being accused of killing her own father, she thinks the worst is already behind her. She is wrong. Lost in unfamiliar woods, she stumbles into Blackrock Pack-and into the path of Alpha Dominic Carl, a ruthless ruler still haunted by the death of the Luna he loved more than life itself.

Dominic's wolf knows instantly: the human girl is his mate. Dominic wants nothing to do with her. Humans took his Luna from him, and he would rather reject this bond than accept a second chance he never asked for. But Valeria is innocent, vulnerable, and far too tempting to ignore.

As enemies close in and buried truths begin to surface, Dominic must choose between his hatred and the girl fate has tied to his soul. Because this time, rejecting his mate may cost him far more than his pride-it may cost him everything.
