Some ties won't break, not even in death. He couldn't bear another heartbreak. "Letting her in would be a mistake," he said. "She's human. I can't risk having her blood on my hands." Gwen turned her face away, and he knew she had seen the vision that flared through his mind. The carnage. Bodies all around. The foul reek of decay and metallic blood sliding over his fingers and soaking the ground beneath his feet. The tiny, lifeless body in his arms, a death he hadn't been able to stop. And one he could never forget. "It won't happen that way with her," she whispered to the floor. "I can't take that risk." Her brown eyes, weighted with sorrow, lifted to his. "Not everyone gets a second chance. Take it." Soulmates are meant to come only once in a lifetime. At least, that's what everyone believed. She was the second chance meant for him. But her heart belonged to someone else. Fate would pull them together, and Fate would rip them apart. A slow-burn, sensual love story with a touch of humor, a hint of action, and plenty of heart.

Taehyung has spent his whole life hiding — shy, scarred, and sheltered by the only pack that ever showed him kindness. Starting school for the first time is already terrifying enough.

When the moon goddess marks them as fated mates, the boy who fears everything and the boy who fears nothing are going to have to figure out what to do with each other.

Even with the room drowned in darkness, I still picked out the one person who could make my heart stutter. He stayed there, both hands sunk in his pockets, looking right at me. So mesmerized by the Alphas beauty, I failed to see the foot stretched before me. In the next second, I tripped over it, sending the cake straight out of my hands. I somehow kept my footing, but I couldn't shut out the gasps rippling around the room, or the inhuman growl coming from ahead of me. Slowly lifting my eyes, a startled gasp slipped from my mouth. The Alphas poisonous stare stayed locked on me. He growled again, making me stagger back two steps. My focus was still on the door, so I jolted when the Alpha slammed me against the wall and held my hands above my head. Cake still covered his face, but his bloodshot eyes were visible from miles away. Neve Drummond. A girl with a personality all her own. She's confident but socially awkward, has good manners and whenever she walks into a room she feels like fresh air. She doesn't care whether someone is wealthy, middle-class or poor and she treats everyone around her with equal respect and care. Even with the biggest secret in the lycan realm resting on her shoulders, she keeps smiling. Unable to make new friends because her secret might come out, she keeps to herself, only speaking when she needs to set someone straight. Ronan Vale. An Alpha with a mysterious personality. He's feared, yet nobody has ever heard him speak. He ignores every living thing, and when he walks into a room, everyone knows to leave. He respects each one of his pack members regardless of social status. Since what happened, nobody has seen him smile. Ever. What happens when Neve Drummond runs into Ronan Vale? What happens when Ronan Vale runs into Neve Drummond?

He began to abuse her when she was 5, the little child unable to understand what was happening or why. His pack was coming apart, and the money was running dry. So, at 15, her father sold her off to a pack of sadistic men. She has never been shown love or compassion and is too afraid to trust. Soren Frost is twenty-one and the Alpha of the Mountain Ridge pack. Ever since he was little, he had been raised to show women courtesy and respect. His name was taken from the Greek hunter Orion, because he was meant to be known for his strength, his leadership, and keeping his pack safe. He has searched for his mate ever since he was 16, when he had his first shift, but she has never appeared.
