After securing her career as a designer in Paris, Arlene Brooks allows herself one night of abandon with the lead singer of Lia Skye Lucia—her ultimate obsession. Warner Lorenzo is a rock god on the stage, secretly a runaway wolf haunted by a savage birthright. Fleeing his father’s tyranny, he chose fame over his pack, rejecting the brutal legacy that trailed him.
A single explosive encounter after a show brings them together. Arlene is completely mesmerized by the man behind the anthems, while Warner comes face-to-face with the woman fate has chosen for him. She’s human, with a bright, clean future ahead. He’s a rogue, desperate to escape his bloodline. Following a night of raw passion, Warner disappears, believing she’s safer if he remains nothing more than a scorching memory.
That one night redefines Arlene’s world. Five years after her encounter with Warner Lorenzo, she’s a single mother to twins. A quick search of his name reveals a blur of tabloids, women, and wild parties. She vows to protect her children by keeping their existence a secret, praying their paths will never cross again.
Fate, it seems, has a twisted sense of humor. They collide in the middle of a crowded airport, where Warner discovers a little boy and girl who bear an undeniable resemblance to his family—one with his own jade-green eyes, the other a perfect echo of the women in his lineage.
He is left reeling when the little girl proudly calls Arlene “Mommy.” Panicked, Arlene seizes her chance to escape as a swarm of fans descends on Warner. He might have found the will to let her go once, but everything has changed. He knows the truth now, and he can’t walk away, because the very power his children have inherited makes them a target for dangers she can’t possibly imagine.

There is no written law about it, and it takes a true monster to cross that line. For an alpha to claim his position, he needs a mate. Two alphas leading the pack together. This bastard found his mate and awakened his wolf. Then he murdered her to steal both their powers. It makes him more dangerous than any ordinary alpha. We call their kind feral.


Scary does not begin to cover it, I tell her as she leans back against the couch.


My father hails from Michigan. Had I marked her and chosen her as my mate, our territories would have united. We would have controlled one of the largest pack alliances in the country.


She stares at me with wide eyes. What happened then?


I agreed to the arrangement. Leading a pack never appealed to me. She craved that authority for herself, and our children would have inherited incredible strength. Then Holmes returned home and my world shifted completely.
