When Kalo was offered freedom from his life of servitude, he swore he’d never again be bound: not by magic, by masters, or by fate.
But everything changes when he’s marked by a werewolf and feels the pull of a mate bond he never asked for.
Leo, the by-the-book Gamma of the Crimsontooth pack, wasn’t expecting to find his mate when he went to help an ally, and he certainly wasn’t expecting to mark that mate without his permission when it became a matter of life or death.
Now, he’s stuck trying to win over a mate who doesn’t want to belong to anyone while a reaper stalks the pack’s land, drawn by an unfinished claim.
As danger tightens around the pack, Kalo must decide what freedom really means: fleeing from the bond he never wanted, or standing beside the wolf who’s willing to fight for him, even against death itself.
