Human and pragmatic, Wren Calloway agrees to a contract marriage with the Alpha of the Ashfall pack for one reason: protection for her dying sister. She expects silence, distance, and a signature on a piece of paper. She doesn't expect Kane Ashfall — cold, guarded, and hiding a wound of his own — to slowly unravel the shell she's spent years building around herself. When an old enemy pack resurfaces with a claim that could unravel the marriage and expose Wren to threats she never signed up for, she stops waiting to be protected and starts learning to fight on her own terms — discovering, in the process, a power inside her that the wolves never saw coming. What began as a transaction becomes the first real choice either of them has ever made.
