Laney Lake's life was built on secrets. Now the truth is out.
She's not just half human, half wolf. She's the lost heir to every werewolf pack, born from a bloodline that was never meant to exist. Half-breeds are hunted, not crowned, but Laney is her father's alpha heir, and that makes her untouchable.
Determined to hold on to the life she chose, Laney negotiates two weeks to finish finals at Stonemore University before her father takes her away to force her first shift, one she may not survive. If she does, she'll rise as something the packs have never seen before.
But the greatest threat isn't the shift.
It's Rowan Ward.
Still the future alpha of his pack, Rowan is bound by duty to an engagement he never wanted, one he agreed to in exchange for Laney's safety. Now Laney no longer needs his protection, and he's left trapped between the life he's obligated to lead and the one person he can't let go of. The bond between them is turning into something deeper, more dangerous. A mating bond that, if it solidifies, will change everything.
With time running out, Laney is caught between the future she never chose and the one she may not survive, while Rowan faces a choice that could cost him his pack or the woman he's forming a bond with.
Because loving each other isn't just forbidden.
It's dangerous.
