“"Stay away from me." "You're my mate, Emma. That stopped being an option the night you shifted." "I didn't ask for this." "And I didn't ask for a hybrid who can bring my entire world down." Emma Carter thought the worst thing about working for Daniel Blackwell was his cold, controlled arrogance. She did not know that the billionaire CEO she reports to is also the Alpha of the most powerful hidden wolf pack in the country. She did not know that the strange instincts she has fought her whole life are not anxiety, schizophrenia, or imagination. She did not know she was born illegal. When a violent attack forces her to shift for the first time, Emma discovers she is not fully human and not fully wolf. She is a hybrid, created in secret and marked for execution under a decades-old pack decree. The Council wants her contained. Rival factions want her captured. Someone inside Daniel's inner circle wants her to be used as proof that the old order should fall. Daniel should hand her over to protect his pack. Instead, he chooses her, risking civil war and the collapse of everything he built. As enemies close in and buried truths about her mother's research surface, Emma's power begins to evolve beyond anything the wolves have ever seen. The mate bond between them is real, but so are the lies that shaped it. In a world that survives on dominance and bloodlines, Emma may be the one thing it cannot control.”
