She was born to protect him. But he doesn't even know she exists.

Maya Sterling carries the blood of legendary Guardians. Her mother died saving the Alpha's family. Her father lost everything defending the pack. Now it's Maya's turn to guard Kieran Vale—the future Alpha who looks right through her.

But Maya's different. She's not just another Guardian. She's something that shouldn't exist.

Two powerful Alphas want her. One could destroy everything she loves.

When Damon Cross, Alpha of the rival pack, demands Maya as his mate, everything changes. He sees her worth. He promises her power. He offers her a choice Kieran never gave her.

Then dangerous rogue Alpha Thorne Blackwood decides he wants Maya too. And he's not asking nicely.

Maya's not the weak girl they think she is.

Born with powers no Guardian has ever possessed, Maya must choose between duty and desire. Between the Alpha she was meant to protect and the Alpha who actually wants her.

But when Thorne kidnaps the people she loves, Maya learns the truth about her abilities. She's not just a Guardian.

She's the key to uniting the packs... or watching them all burn.

Now she has to decide: Will she be claimed by fate, force, or will she choose her own destiny?
