The bond is a terrifying, consuming fire, forcing two sworn enemies into an urgent, steamy intimacy. Yet their unprecedented union is an act of supernatural defiance, drawing the lethal attention of powerful covens and vengeful tribes who demand the immediate execution of this monstrous pair.Their passion is forbidden. Their claim is absolute. To survive, the Alpha and the Ancient must trust the very rage and bloodlust they were hired to destroy.
