Now a murdered she-wolf forces the Council's flawless Truth Verifier back into his billionaire empire.
Ava
I smell lies with perfect accuracy.
Five years ago, I caught one in my fated mate's wedding vows.
I severed our bond and walked away.
Now an abused she-wolf's case drags me back to his territory.
Ryan Ashford blocks my investigation with a cold smile.
But when hired mercenaries breach his estate, the mask slips.
He pins me to the floor to shield me from the gunfire.
His rapid heartbeat hammers against my spine.
I should not still crave the man I publicly destroyed.
Ryan
I clawed my way to Alpha on pure, frozen spite.
When my runaway mate returns, my first instinct is revenge.
Then my uncle sends assassins to silence her.
My petty games die the second I smell her blood.

She thinks she understood my lie at the altar.
She has no idea I was trying to keep her alive.
"You're staying at my estate."
"And before you argue—this isn't a request."
