The Alpha Heir rejected me in front of everyone. One sentence destroyed my entire life. I should have hated Finn afterward. Instead, the mate bond only grew stronger, cruel enough to hurt every time he walked away. Then I left. While I was pulled deeper into a world of Lycans, hidden bloodlines, and growing power, Finn spiraled into something colder and far more dangerous than the charming future Alpha Iron Ridge once adored. Rogues begin fleeing his scent. Packs whispered his name like a warning. And every mile between us makes the bond more unstable. Now the same man who publicly denied me can no longer function when I’m gone. But the closer I get to the truth about who I really am… The more terrifying our bond becomes.
