A wounded wolf shifter. The ER nurse he walked away from three years ago. And a bond that never stopped running between them.
Jace Mercer has been exiled from the pack — or close enough. Three years outside Mercer territory, moving alone, holding the shift at bay with the discipline of someone who knows what going home would cost. When a Harrow attack leaves him bleeding through his jacket and barely holding human form, the only lights he can reach are a hospital's.
He doesn't realize who works the night shift until she's already standing in his doorway with a chart in her hand and three years of fury she's decided not to perform.
Claire Reyes has known what Jace is since they were sixteen years old. She has read every research note on fated mate bonds that Lily Mercer passed to her. She has spent three years being excellent at her job and not thinking about him.
He looks exactly like himself.
But the bond that's been a faint pull for three years is now a full signal — warm, specific, impossible to file under any clinical heading. The Harrow Pack is still active. Jace is injured and partially shifted, his body paying the cost of three years of self-suppression. And Claire is the only person who knows enough to help him, and the only person he owes the truth to, and the only person whose forgiveness he cannot demand.
He has until she finishes her shift to decide whether he's going to tell it.
