In shifter life, what's more important? Your human mind? Or your wolf's?

Black

I discover pretty little Elena helpless in disputed territory.

At first, I want to crack her open, this wide-eyed temptation who derails me. I want to shatter her and those who sent her into tiny pieces. I will not be manipulated or deceived by her false innocence.

That's what I tell myself. But even as I say it aloud, my obsession grows, and the spell she weaves leaves my wolf and I both panting.

Once I realize Elena's a special type of shifter, the rarest of the rare and the most precious of them all… I don't want to crush her. I want to chain and keep her. I want to make her beg for mercy, but not because she's broken.

Because she's mine.

I want her desperate and aching for me in ways she's never been before.

My wolf and I will claim her, mark her, marry her, and keep her.

Only one thing's stopping me: the entire shifter world wants her, too.

Elena

When my wolf appears for the first time, I'm so overjoyed that I don't think; I just run into the forest… and smack into Black Maddox, the leader of my pack. Only he doesn't believe that I'm what I say I am. He insists that I'm part of a rival pack and locks me up in his basement.

Black's twice my age, insanely powerful, and has a streak of darkness running through him a mile wide and an ocean deep.

He's exactly the type of man that I always swore I'd stay far away from. I should stick with Jonah, the beta I know and trust, the man who'll give me everything I ask for.

But what if there are things I didn't know I ever wanted before? Things I don't know how to ask for?

The shadow Black casts drenches me, his depravity soaking into my skin.

He's going to destroy me if I don't escape him.
