His vengeance swore he would never take a mate. Her escape just landed her on his doorstep.
After a coven of witches murders his father, Rafe Erickson's only purpose is to lead the Black Paw Pack and exact revenge. He has no room for distractions, especially not the one foretold by an ancient prophecy: that he will meet his fated mate during Yule. Rafe refuses to be a pawn of fate, vowing never to let anyone close enough to suffer his father's brutal fate.
She is a threat he never saw coming.
Mina is out of time. Fleeing the evil Alpha of the Twisted Tail Pack, she has one goal: get strong enough to rescue her family from his tyranny. Her desperate flight leads her straight into the territory of the one wolf powerful enough to help-Rafe.
The moment the wounded, defiant she-wolf crosses his path, the prophecy ignites a primal craving Rafe can't deny. But Mina isn't just a fated mate; she's a target, and her ruthless former Alpha will tear through any pack to get her back. To protect his people, Rafe must forge an alliance with the one woman destiny designed for him. But can he trust the bond he never wanted, or will the war she brings with her destroy them both?
