Shadows cling to the cobblestones as Michael Vale steps from his car, the cold air biting at his skin. A scent cuts through the frost—ocean, sun, warmth. His wolf surges, primal and undeniable. He follows it to a cramped bookshop, *Read Me Twice*, where the air smells of old paper. Inside, behind a cluttered counter, sits a barefoot woman, lost in a romance novel. Michael watches her underline a line, a faint smile on her lips. She is human. She is his. The dangerous Alpha has found his mate.
