Follow his head, he breaks her heart. Follow his heartβ¦he breaks his pack.
From the moment he was born, Nic Kaganβs future was sealed. Heβll accept a mate, have kids, and eventually take over his fatherβs role as pack alpha. Thereβs just one problem.
Long ago, his heart settled on Riley, the packβs human doctor and honorary member. Except only half of him can have her. The other halfβhis wolfβwonβt give a weak non-shifter female a second sniff.
No oneβhuman or shifterβhas left a mark on Rileyβs soul like Nic. But with his father hospitalized, any hope things could work out between them is slipping away. Yet Riley understands something else about pack life. Power isnβt always a physical gift; love is just as strong. What she and Nic have is worth fighting for.
With rival threats mounting, Nic realizes he canβt simply turn his back on Riley. Though his wolf could tear his heart out for it, he must fight for what he wants before he loses his mate. His pack. Maybe even his sanity.
Warning: Contains a reluctant alpha with only one roadblock between his heart and the woman he lovesβbiology. And a woman who isnβt giving up on him, even if it means risking her life to fool Mother Nature.
