At eight years old, Bounce watched his entire pack—his family, his world—burn to ash. Survival alone became his only choice, a burden no child should bear. For centuries, he carried the weight of their slaughter, transforming his grief into something darker, something lethal. He became unstoppable. He became vengeance incarnate. Then Jessy arrived. She was supposed to be his enemy's daughter, a pawn in his carefully orchestrated revenge. Instead, she shattered every certainty he'd built. Her presence ignites a war within him—passion against purpose, desire against duty. With every touch, every stolen glance, Bounce feels himself betray the memory of his parents, yet he cannot stop himself. She calls to something primal within him, something that demands surrender. Now Bounce faces an impossible choice: abandon centuries of bloodlust for a love that consumes him, or sacrifice the one woman who makes him feel human again to honor the dead. The answers lie within these pages.
