Desperate for a fresh start, Lola jumps at the opportunity to earn a million dollars by participating in a groundbreaking experiment—inject herself with werewolf DNA and determine if the legendary creatures still roam the earth. It seems straightforward enough, far simpler than the struggles she's already survived. She couldn't be more mistaken. Thrust into the chaos of an active mate hunt, Lola finds herself claimed by Noah Grey, the ruthless and commanding Alpha of the Grey Oak pack. Everything about him infuriates her—his dominance, his arrogance, his absolute certainty that she'll bow to his will. She refuses to submit, determined to maintain her independence no matter the cost. But as Lola navigates the intricate politics and hidden truths of werewolf society, she uncovers dangerous secrets that shake her understanding of everything. The deeper she ventures into this world of fated bonds and primal magic, the more she realizes that even legendary beings harbor mysteries and contradictions. Caught between her mission and her inexplicable connection to the Alpha who won't release his grip on her, Lola faces an impossible choice: claim her prize and escape, or surrender to a passion she never saw coming.
