He was the ruthless alpha who ruled the shadows.
Neither of them believed in love... until it became their only way to survive.
Isabel has spent her life fighting to stay invisible.
No wolf. No future. No hope.
When the ruthless Mafia Alpha Drake Blackthorn, the feared Mafia Lord whose cold heart left ruins in his wake, returns to Silvermoon Pack to choose a new mate, Isabel masked and pretending to be her best friend…accidentally insults the most dangerous man in the pack to his face, unaware of who he is.

or walk away……...
Dark. Addictive. Dangerous.
In a world where loyalty is a weapon and love is a curse, can two broken souls find a reason to fight?
