I was hired to kill a ruthless Alpha. Just another high-paying assassination contract. But when I stood over his bed with my blade raised, my target whispered my name: ‘Serena’.
Ten years ago, Julian Blackwood was my fated mate. But when I was framed for my father’s murder, Julian chose his family's reputation over me. He rejected our bond and watched as I was exiled into the freezing wilderness to die.
He thought I perished. Instead, I was taken in by a ruthless rogue faction and forged into a deadly assassin.
Now, I've infiltrated his pack under a fake Regional Council identity. My goal? Uncover my father's true killer, and finish the assassination job I aborted in that hotel room.
But Julian isn't the weak boy I remember. He's a hardened, guilt-ridden Alpha who never took another mate. He recognizes the scent of the assassin from the hotel, and his wolf goes feral whenever I'm near. He traps me in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse, pushing me against walls and searching my body under the guise of "security protocols".
The broken mate bond is waking up, and the feral heat between us is becoming impossible to resist.
I came back to cut out his heart and claim my revenge. But as the real traitors within the pack orchestrate a deadly massacre ... the greatest danger isn't that I might fail my mission.
It's that I might forgive the mate who destroyed me.
