He wasn't born to be the Alpha King. He'll have to earn it. And that might just cost him everything. After he killed his mate to protect his brother's Luna, Ryan was ready to leave Crescent Falls forever. When given the opportunity to create his own kingdom in a distant land, he gathered his pack and started out. But this new kingdom isn't just handed to him on a silver platter. There are new risks--new threats. And new possibilities. Aviva is wild and untamed. When her father gives her to Alpha King Ryan as a sign of unity, neither of them can say no. But the haunted look in his eyes makes her want to run in the other direction. Is it possible Aviva is his second chance mate? Or is she just a way of making peace in this rugged new land? As their enemies begin to close in, it becomes clear, they'll have to work together to survive--even if they're not meant to be together. But when Ryan looks at her, he doesn't want to tame her. He wants to claim her.
