Owen

I was handed a miracle. I found my soulmate. Only I never thought that she would reject me.

Selina is mine. She is my future. My everything. Until she rejects me, ripping my heart out. Now I spend my life trying to dull the never-ending agony she left behind. I've become a cold-hearted killer. I’ve neglected my pack, my duty, even my brothers. As one of the most powerful shifters in this world, I know a challenge for my position as Beta to the King of Shifters is inevitable. But it never happens. Instead, I’m ordered to become Alpha to a remote pack of shifters and to hunt and kill whoever is suicidal enough to kidnap and threaten our kind. But Fate, bitch that she is, throws my soulmate into my path once again. This time, though, I’m ready. This time I have armoured my heart against her.

At least, that’s what I tell myself—until I’m staring into those beautiful jade eyes once again.

I soon discover that danger lurks in the darkness of the small town. But I am a Shadow Sentinel, a warrior, an Alpha, and above all else, a shifter with a mate who needs me, even if she will not admit it.

This time there will be no running. For either of us. I will protect her. And I will win her. Because she is mine. And no amount of evil will ever take her from me.

Selina

My name is Selina. And I am a wolf-shifter with a damning secret.

The scars I carry are a testament to my violent past. But the worst one is on the inside. And I can never reveal it, especially not to the sinfully sexy and powerful alpha, who is my soulmate.

Four years ago, I watched Owen Brady leave to fight in the demon war with the Shifter King. Now he’s back, and he’s the King’s Beta, one of the Shadow Sentinels, the most powerful shifters in our world. And he’s made it clear he wants me.

But if I stay with him, my secret could shatter his life and undo all I’ve done to protect my son. I won’t do that. I can’t. Not to my soulmate and not to my son. So, with my heart in tatters, I walk away.

But Fate is cruel, and after a year of living with my actions, she throws him right back into my life. Only this time, he’s battle-hardened and cold as hell.

No matter his hate for me, I can’t walk away, not when danger lurks so close. Protecting my soulmate and my son is everything. My secret might ruin my life, but I won’t let it ruin theirs. Ever.
