I’ve ruled my territory through fear, discipline, and absolute control. Mercy is a weakness, and weakness gets packs destroyed. Closing my borders kept my people alive, and I intended to keep it that way until the Alpha Games forced me to open my lands to challengers hungry for power. I was prepared for rivals. I was prepared for bloodshed. I wasn’t prepared for her. Aria Henderson is a rogue shifter with nothing to lose and fire in her veins. She doesn’t bow. She doesn’t flinch. And from the moment she steps onto my land, everything I’ve built starts to crack. When the Games turn deadly and “accidents” begin targeting her, I find myself breaking my own laws to protect the one woman who could destroy me or claim me. Winning the Alpha Games is my only chance at a future. A territory means safety. Belonging. A place where I finally matter after years of running alone. I never expected the greatest danger to be Liam Brooks, the ruthless alpha known for his cruelty and iron rule. They call him heartless. They call him a monster. But behind the fury is a man who sees me in ways no one ever has. As enemies close in and the Games become a battlefield of betrayal, my presence threatens everything his authority, his pack, and his control. Loving him could cost me the only dream I’ve ever had. Trusting him could get me killed. Now the choice is brutal and unforgiving: Claim the territory I’ve fought my entire life for… or risk everything for an alpha whose love may be as dangerous as the Games themselves. In the Alpha Games, only one thing is certain; survival demands sacrifice, and love is the most dangerous prize of all.
