"You're in my territory now, Princess, and you'll abide by my rules. Is that clear?" he whispered in my ear as he backed me against the wall, his hand slithering around my waist and pulling me closer to him.

In a world where danger lurks at every corner, Haden Pierce stands as the formidable alpha of America’s largest werewolf pack. He has fought tooth and claw to protect his pack from rogue threats since a brutal attack years ago. Now with the weight of his family’s legacy on his shoulders, he focuses on fortifying his pack’s future, giving up hope of finding his mate.
But when Zara Ferrari—a rogue with a mysterious past—stumbles into his territory, everything changes. Drawn to her like a moth to a flame, Haden grapples with his instincts and his deepest convictions. She embodies everything he despises, yet the pull between them ignites a fire that threatens to consume them both.
Caught between duty and desire, Haden must confront the demon of his past and the reality of his future. Will he embrace the bond that challenges everything he knows, or will his refusal to accept her lead to their downfall?
Could be really good, the premise and the idea of the plot really got me into reading but I just needed more from the characters. The Alpha was pretty rude and judgmental to the fmc to I point I thought he was a terrible person. I was truly waiting for character development but it always felt flat. If he didn’t have his friend telling him he is horrible, nothing would move forward in the romance. I was also expecting more from Zara. I wanted her to shut them up with her intelligence, strategy, and strength but I felt like she would just scream all the time. And don’t get me wrong she had all the good words but just…. Felt flat. Every other Alpha showed a much better personality, which showed me the author knew it was possible to write a good love interest, but I just got annoyed. Even his wolf knew better!!!! The whole prejudice and his incapability to see beyond labels and what he was doing with everyone just got tired to me. No development, just throwing at her face that she’s a rogue all the time, even with the facts!! The premise was so good, and yet, i really got disappointed.
