He shoved me against the wall and stared into my eyes. I knew he felt that same spark too, I'm his mate. And he meant trouble. "Mine," he snarled. Then, before I knew it, everything went black.

One ordinary night out, you catch the eye of a massive, tattooed stranger from a sprawling estate house. Before you know it, you're pulled into a world of shifters, pack politics, and constant family chaos. At the center is Matteo, a man bound to you by an instinct he can't control, and a bond that's anything but smooth. As you navigate this new reality, you'll have to decide if you can survive the raw, messy truth of what it means to be his mate.

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. Then Jungkook notices him. A feared pureblood alpha known for cruelty, Jungkook doesn't explain himself to anyone — but something about the quiet omega makes him look twice. 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?

At nineteen, Nessa Holt was alone, always on the move because she feared her tormentors would hunt her down and find her. She is the Alpha's daughter from the Deimos pack, where her father and the whole pack despised her simply for her existence. He turned into a ruthless man, turning to alcohol and drugs. 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.

Maren Hale has a good life. She has loving parents, close friends, everything she needs and wants, yet one thing is still missing, her mate. All her life Maren has heard story's about mates and how amazing it can be to find yours, so naturally Maren wants to find hers. But the morning after her sixteenth birthday, something happens, she finally finds her mate, and not long after she wishes she hadn't.

It will take more than a bite. Adelaide has gone from a broken human into a fierce she-wolf and one hell of a Vale, but now she and her mate, are balanced between deliverance and doom as they wrestle with a revelation that upends everything. They need to move fast to protect the people they love, their pack, and most of all one another; but is it going to be enough? Will they rise to meet it or burn into ash while the fires of failure swallow them whole? There will be blood. There will be two favorite vampires and a whole lot of good food. Expect ass beatings, twists, turns, and a whole lotta Gideon. Now it's rise or fall, and this time, more than a bite is going to be needed to save them.
