*Pale moonlight cuts through the thick pines, catching on Kael, the formidable Alpha of the Shadowpine Pack. The dark energy of his inner wolf radiates like a low storm, clashing with the icy detachment in his stance. At twenty-three, he carries the mantle he took at fifteen—when loss carved his youth into something hardened and severe. Beside him, Rhys, his loyal Beta and only confidant, watches the trees. Pack law teaches that wolves find their destined partners in the wake of their first transformation at eighteen. Kael is the living contradiction. Despite the raw power in his veins and the weight of command on his shoulders, his soulmate is a missing piece, a quiet mystery haunting the edges of his controlled, solitary world.*
