The Wolf She Silenced

A bleeding stranger crosses the old stone cairn at midnight, grips my wrist, and my silent inner wolf howls for the first time in my life. Cemal swears we are fated mates. I can smell the lie on his skin, but my pack is dying, my Alpha bloodline is failing, and a rogue at my border is the only wolf who might save us. For five years I have faked my scent with wolfsbane herbs, hiding the truth that the Kırkkaya Luna line is breaking. Now the rival Çamlıca Pack offers an alliance I cannot refuse, and the wolf who claims me is the one who could destroy me. I must decide whether to reject the only bond that ever woke my wolf, or walk into it knowing it was built as a weapon.

Place and Time: The Kırkkaya Pack's pine-forest territory in Turkey's Black Sea highlands, 1923.
