Chloe Sinclair has always considered herself the rational one in her friendship with Liam Carter. The two have been inseparable since childhood-neighbors, classmates, confidants-and in Chloe's eyes, Liam is just an ordinary guy with a quirky sense of humor and an unshakable loyalty. Until one fateful night shatters everything she thought she knew about him.
When Chloe gets a frantic, cryptic call from Liam to meet him in the woods at midnight, she has no idea that she's about to uncover a truth that will change their friendship forever. She finds him in the moonlight-wild-eyed, breathless, and covered in blood, standing over the lifeless body of a man she doesn't recognize. But the worst part? Liam isn't human anymore. His skin is ripped, his teeth elongated, and the terrifying creature before her is nothing like the person she's known for years.
Liam is a werewolf.
For years, Liam has hidden his true nature, keeping Chloe at arm's length to protect her from the dangerous world he inhabits. But now, with the arrival of a rival pack and the threat of war looming over them, Liam has no choice but to reveal the truth. The connection they share is far deeper than mere friendship-Chloe is his mate, the one person destined for him, whether she's ready to accept it or not.
As Chloe grapples with the shock of learning that the man she's known for most of her life is not only a werewolf, but also the one creature she's been warned to avoid, the stakes grow higher. Liam's pack is under siege from an enemy more ruthless than any human could imagine. With danger closing in and her feelings for him becoming impossible to deny, Chloe must navigate a world she never believed in-one of ancient blood feuds, shifting allegiances, and a love that could destroy them both.
Torn between the man she loves and the beast he's become, Chloe faces a choice: accept the dangerous, dark side of Liam's world and risk everything, or walk away before it's too late.
But in a world where loyalties are tested and betrayals are inevitable, Chloe soon learns that being a werewolf's mate isn't just about love-it's about survival.
