Realizing that she’s been lied to her entire life, she’s never felt more alone. Frankie was torn from her pack by her mother’s human relatives, and the trauma was erased from her memory. When half–wolf shifter Frankie Newman receives an e-mail from a family member she didn’t know existed, a secret is revealed: as a child, Frankie witnessed her father killing her mother…and then himself. Under the menacing gazes of territorial local packs and violent human extremists, Nick vows to finally claim the spirited Shaya…and despite her initial resistance, Shaya just might find his fiery determination to be the ultimate aphrodisiac. After tracking her down, he discovers Shaya’s feisty and passionate side in the process…a side he’d never seen before. But when Shaya runs away, Nick can’t bear the thought of never seeing her again. The degenerative brain condition he keeps secret would ultimately leave her with a burden rather than a mate. Nick Axton can barely control his feelings for Shaya, but he could never claim her-not if he truly cares for her. She thinks he’ll never find her again, and that suits her just fine. Now she hides from him, posing as a human in a town full of anti-shifter extremist groups. After her Alpha wolf mate refused to claim her-but committed to interfering in her life-she took off. Half-shifter Shaya Critchley may hold a submissive role in her pack, but she’s done taking orders.
