The Alpha of the Brown Keepers

A rejected wolf shifter. A feared Alpha. A bond that could save their kind-or turn her into the weapon everyone wants to control.

Arianna has spent her life trapped inside a lie. Branded as wolfless by the pack that raised her, she survives by staying quiet, staying small, and never letting anyone see the truth buried under her skin. But on her eighteenth birthday, a visiting Warrior catches the first strike of a mate bond on her scent-and rejects her in front of the pack. Cast out and broken, Arianna flees into the wilds, only to discover that what her pack despised may be the one thing their world cannot survive without.

Alpha Seth of the Brown Keepers Pack is the last male Arianna should trust. He rules one of the most feared wolf territories in the region, guards an ancient ward-gate failing beneath his land, and scents Arianna as his mate the moment she crosses his border. But Seth cannot afford weakness, and Arianna cannot survive another bond that turns into judgment. When a hidden enemy begins breaking the old ward system from below, Arianna and Seth are forced into a dangerous alliance where every step closer to each other also brings her closer to becoming the bloodline key rival packs, enemy factions, and creature law all want to claim.

If Arianna embraces the bond, she could lose her freedom.

If Seth claims her the wrong way, he could lose his pack.

And if they fail to stop the war rising beneath the land, the gates protecting shifter-kind may fall for good.

For readers who love emotionally intense paranormal romance, dangerous loyalty, strong heroines, possessive heroes who must learn restraint, and hidden worlds where love is tested by law, blood, and war.
