Alexi:I need out of my pack. Out of a life doomed from the start. But when a man who punishes wolves for a living comes for me, there's no escape. Not for either of us. Lucian is everything I shouldn't want. His darkness is everything I crave. He gives me pain and pleasure in equal measure, and I can't stop wanting more. More of his rough hands. More of his brutal honesty. More of him. The world has never been kind to me.
I shouldn't expect anything different from him. But as I'm drawn deeper into his world-and his bed-I start wanting something I never thought I'd have: a place by his side where my own demons can finally run free. Lucian:I am feared by many. Sought after by those who require my particular skills. Then Alexi crashes into my life-a defiant, rebellious pup who should mean nothing to me. Instead, he makes me want things I'd given up on.
The darkness in me wants to claim him. Own him. Keep him. But secrets lurk in the shadows, and the threats circling us could tear everything apart. My work is dangerous. The truth of what I do could push him away forever. I won't let that happen. He's seen the real me and stayed. Now I have to prove that together we can face anything-that he's not a temporary thrill, but my forever. Shifters, kink, pain, and the kind of love that leaves marks.
No cheating, HEA guaranteed.
