Hope feels like a cruel joke—until Alpha Caelan Kendrick opens his Choosing Ceremony to outsiders. Pressured to find a mate, he’s resigned to duty over destiny. But when Shade steps into his world, fate refuses to be ignored. Sparks fly, secrets stir, and a bond neither expected begins to form. Yet, with shadows of the past looming and enemies watching, one question remains—will their connection be their salvation or their downfall?

“You’re right,” he said, pressing his firm body against mine. “I don’t want you…”

“...But what makes you think I’ll let you leave me?”
