Betrayed by her pack and branded as cursed, Elara runs into the forest on the night of an eclipse—straight into the arms of Kaelen, a Lycan no one has heard speak in years. But when his voice finally breaks through the silence, she realizes it isn’t only his. A darker spirit lurks inside him, one that knows her blood… one that whispers she belongs to him. Torn between the gentle Lycan who makes her feel safe and the dangerous force that claims her as his mate, Elara must make an impossible choice. What happens when your fated mate is the very darkness threatening to destroy the man you love?
