“What's that smell?” My wolf, Storm's, voice is sudden and loud, making my head throb. As soon as he speaks, the most incredible scent I’ve ever known hits my nose, sending my senses into overdrive. It's a blend of strawberries and cinnamon, instantly drawing me forward, my feet moving of their own accord.
As I weave through the crowd, the smell intensifies, and suddenly, everything happens so fast that my head spins. A scent like that can only mean one thing… I’ve found my mate. The realization crashes over me just as she steps out of the packhouse, leaving me breathless. “Fuck, no!”
Alpha Nicholas is 28, mateless, and has no interest in changing that. This year, it's his turn to host the annual Blue Moon Ball, and the last thing his wolf expects is to find his mate. Even more shocking is that his mate is 10 years younger—and he can’t ignore how his body reacts to her. He tries to fight the bond, but his world unravels when his guards capture two she-wolves running through his territory.
Bonnie has been broken by those closest to her, including her own twin sister. Together with her best friend Lilly, they plan to escape during the Blue Moon Ball, hosted by another pack. But when things go wrong, they’re left uncertain about their future.
When they’re brought to Alpha Nicholas, he faces his mate again and uncovers secrets that will make him want to kill more than one person. Can Nicholas stop fighting the bond and accept a mate much younger than him? Will Bonnie want him after feeling the sting of his unofficial rejection? Can they both let go of their pasts, or will fate keep them apart?
