The Alpha's Reluctant Mate
Blackwood Pack Series — Book One
By Adrian Phoenix Vale
She rejected the wrong mate.
Now the most powerful Alpha on the continent refuses to let her go.
Luna Reyes has spent five years running.
Running from the pack that betrayed her.
Running from the bond that shattered her body.
Running from the rare biological fracture that no healer has been able to cure.
Every shift hurts.
Every full moon is a battle.
And every day brings her one step closer to losing control of the wolf inside her.
When a secret organization known as the Consortium begins hunting her across North America, Luna has only one option left:
Seek refuge in the territory of Caden Blackwood.
Cold. Disciplined. Uncompromising.
The most feared and respected Alpha on the western continent.
Caden has no intention of becoming emotionally involved with the mysterious woman who arrives at his border wounded and exhausted.
But from the moment he looks into her eyes, his wolf recognizes something impossible.
Something ancient.
Something undeniable.
Something that could change both of their lives forever.
As Luna’s condition worsens and the Consortium closes in, the bond between them deepens into a connection neither of them can control.
But Luna has already paid the price of trusting the wrong mate once.
And this time, giving her heart away could cost her everything.
