Krystal thought she knew what fear felt like. Then she met Bruce. After a near-fatal accident pulls her into a world she was never meant to see, Krystal finds herself caught between ordinary life and something far older, darker, and more dangerous. Bruce is not just the quiet, protective boy who saved her. He is part of a hidden lycan bloodline, bound by instincts, secrets, and a legacy he barely understands himself. As their bond grows stronger, so do the dangers around them. Missing bodies begin appearing near town. Vampires move in the shadows. Old histories resurface. And when a terrified vampire girl named Kalitina seeks protection on Bruce’s territory, the fragile peace around them begins to crack. Bruce must protect Krystal, his growing pack, and the people he loves while learning what it truly means to be an alpha. But some secrets were buried for a reason. And some bonds are powerful enough to change everything. A dark paranormal romance about lycans, vampires, loyalty, forbidden bonds, family, and the terrifying cost of becoming something more.
