I've guarded this crumbling obelisk alone through endless Highland nights.
The winds carry only echoes of my pack's ancient oaths, binding me to solitude.
I told myself a mate would fracture everything. Shatter my control. Leave me exposed, howling at shadows.
Then she appeared.
A rival scout from the blood enemy pack, slipping past my watch like smoke.
Her scent hit me first - wild defiance that sank claws into my chest.
One glimpse of those fierce eyes, and the beast inside woke starving.
I should have torn her throat out. Pack law demands it.
Instead, I hunted her. Tracked her through mist-veiled crags until she turned, teeth bared, matching my growl.
Enemies don't knot like this. Don't fuse sweat-slick bodies in a damp cave's gloom, pulses throbbing as one.
Don't shift to furred forms racing silhouettes against the gale, nipping and yielding in ecstatic war.
She's my ruin and my breath.
This forbidden pull defies every loyalty - her fire begs my dominance, yet she makes me bare my throat.
Claim her, and rival bloodlines ignite betrayal, exile ripping my legacy apart.
Deny her, and this obsession devours me whole, sanity fraying in the obelisk's pulsing glow.
Her taste lingers on my tongue. Her mark scars my soul.
I'd raze the Highlands to keep her pinned beneath me.
But can an alpha's howl bind a rival's heart... or will her wild spark consume us both?
A full-length omegaverse shifter erotic romance featuring an obsessive alpha wolf guardian and his defiant rival scout.
