She was never supposed to belong to him. He made sure of that. Tessa grew up in Stonecrest as the pack's outcast human, unwanted, and invisible to the Alpha who would one day claim her as his own. When Dominic finally comes for her, she isn't sure whether to run or stay. He rejected her once. His pack made her bleed. And now he's calling her his mate. But something darker is closing in. Rogues. Vampires. A ruthless enemy who wants Tessa for her bloodline and wants Dominic destroyed. Suddenly the boy who once broke her is the only thing standing between her and a war she never asked for. Tessa must choose: hold onto the pain of her past, or fight for a future that was always written in her blood. Some bonds can be broken. A true mate bond cannot.
