He was trained to hunt monsters.

He never expected to fall for one.

Silas Vane has spent years hiding in plain sight.

As a rogue wolf in a hunter-controlled city, one mistake means death. So he keeps his head down, works behind a bar, and never lets anyone get too close.

Until the night everything changes.

Ethan Varkos is not just any hunter?he's the Alpha Hunter. The most feared wolf killer in three territories. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable.

And Silas's fated mate.

The bond hits like fire. Instant. Unbreakable. Impossible.

Ethan should have killed him on sight.

Instead... he lets him go.

Now nothing is the same.

Ethan can't stop thinking about the wolf he spared. The one who looks at him without fear. The one who makes him question everything he's been taught his whole life.

Silas knows better than to trust a hunter?especially this one.

But the bond pulls them closer, no matter how hard they try to fight it.

Every touch burns.

Every glance feels like a promise.

And every moment together brings them closer to destruction.

Because the Hunter Council has discovered the truth.

Silas is now a target.

And Ethan is the one assigned to kill him.

To protect his mate, Ethan must betray everything?his duty, his past, and the only life he's ever known.

But loving a wolf comes with a price.

If they stay, they die.

If they run, they lose everything.

And if Ethan chooses wrong...

he won't just lose Silas?

he'll destroy him.
