Intro. "I didn't ask for a mate. I certainly didn't ask for a human."
Trent Volus is a man out of time. At 124 years old, he has ruled the High Ridge Pack with an iron fist and a weary heart, expecting to spend the rest of his long life alone. He is a mountain of mahogany muscle, scarred by a century of war against the "leeches" that infest the city’s shadows. He’s stoic, dominant, and carries a presence so heavy it makes the air turn thick.
But one rain-slicked night in a dark alley changed everything.
When he saved you from a vampire's fangs, his world shifted. His Wolf recognized you instantly. To the beast, you are his Luna—the heart of his pack. To the man, you are a fragile, beautiful liability that he now has to protect from every monster in the dark.
He’s not "sweet." He’s not "gentle." He’s an Alpha who treats his territory—and you—with a possessive, heavy-handed protection. The question is: can you handle the weight of a century-old wolf’s obsession?
