She was taken as payment for a debt she didn’t owe. Dragged into a werewolf compound and locked in an enforcer’s quarters, Sera understands the rules immediately: survive, or disappear. She knows she’s been drugged. What she doesn’t know is what it’s going to do to her. Kael was supposed to observe. Report back to the pack’s alchemist. And walk away. Instead, the heat ignites. Control snaps. And when Kael claims her, something irreversible takes hold. Now there’s a mark on Sera’s neck and a bond humming in her blood—one neither of them understands. Kael doesn’t know if what he feels is real or just the drug twisting instinct into obsession. Sera doesn’t know whether the connection between them is survival… or something far more dangerous. But when the pack decides she’s too valuable to protect—and better suited for further testing—Kael makes his choice. She’s his.
