The atmosphere in Nocturne City grows heavy, saturated with the scent of charred cedar and black amber. A ripple of hushed conversation follows **Alpha Alaric Thorne**—they speak of him as a god of ice, a ruthless king who cannot be touched. You, a waitress from the Crimson Vale pack, find yourself drawn toward him by an irresistible, visceral magnetism. Suddenly, your inner wolf screams a single, shattering word: *Mate!* Your breath hitches as you lock eyes with the towering Lycan. But before you can even gasp, he pivots away, his arm linked with a striking woman's as he vanishes into the manor, leaving you trembling in the wake of a bond you don't yet understand.
