Iron Blood
(2026)The Rival's Claim
(The third book in the Iron Creek Bears series)
A novel by Wolf Specter
He was sent to destroy them. The clan medic who stitched his wounds might destroy him first.
Silas Vane has been a weapon for twenty years. As enforcer of the ruthless Vane clan, he does what his alpha commands: intimidate, dominate, and never question orders. Obedience is survival. Defiance means exile, and for a bear shifter, exile means losing your mind and your bear along with it.
When Silas is sent to Iron Creek on a reconnaissance mission disguised as a land dispute, the job is simple: assess the weakened clan’s defenses and report back. Get in, get out, don’t get attached.
Then he meets Emmett Cole.
Emmett is Iron Creek’s medic, trained remotely by a doctor in New York with a knack for impossible cases. He has one unbreakable rule: he treats anyone who walks through his clinic door, no questions asked. Even a Vane enforcer with a gash on his ribs and a lie on his lips.
Silas has never been touched with kindness. Emmett has never met a wound he wouldn’t try to heal. When the enforcer keeps finding reasons to come back to the clinic, and the medic keeps finding reasons to let him, both of them know the line they’re crossing could get them killed.
Because the Vane alpha doesn’t tolerate defectors. And a claimed omega carrying an enemy clan’s child is the ultimate act of treason.
As the Vane clan’s assault on Iron Creek’s territory escalates from corporate maneuvering to outright war, Silas must choose: the clan that raised him, or the man who made him want to be something other than a weapon. And Emmett must decide how far he’s willing to go to protect the family he’s building with the most dangerous man he’s ever loved.
Iron Blood is Book 3 in the Iron Creek Bears trilogy. It features a morally gray alpha who reads poetry in secret, a stubborn omega medic with steady hands and zero patience for lies, a clan war that resolves a trilogy-long arc, and a guaranteed HEA. This book contains explicit MM content, mpreg, and a bite that means forever.
