A shapeshifter noblewoman. A werewolf alpha. One kidnapping on her wedding night that changes everything.

I had one job: marry the man my father chose, produce an heir, and keep my mouth shut. Forever. Instead, I hiked up my wedding dress, climbed out a window, and broke my ankle in the woods.

Romantic, right?

It gets worse. The werewolf who found me — Laedan, alpha of the most wanted pack in the territory — didn't bring me home. He brought me to his home. Now he's calling me his fated mate. I'm calling him delusional. He's not backing down, and he's not letting me leave, either.

I broke a clock over his head for that last part.

But the longer I'm his captive, the harder it gets to hate him. Especially when I discover what my people have really been doing to his — and that the noble society I was so desperate to escape was built on something monstrous.

My father has every shapeshifter in the territory searching for me. My ex-fiancé wants to claim me. And every day I spend with the wolf who took me makes it harder to imagine going back.

I should run, but my track record with that isn't great.

He calls me his mate. I call him my kidnapper. We can't both be right... can we?
