I was born to destroy. To dominate. To lead. That’s what the Black Claw Pack bred me for—pain, power, precision. But when the smoke clears and the blood dries, there’s only silence. No glory. No purpose. Just the weight of what I’ve done. And then she shows up. She should be my enemy. She’s Steel Falls. Everything I was taught to hate. But when I scent her, it’s like the world stops. I don’t deserve a mate. I don’t deserve her . But fate doesn’t care. And when war ignites again, I’ll have to choose between the pack I was born into or the woman who might be my only shot at redemption. Even monsters can crave love. The question is can we be loved back?
