But when a five-alarm fire erupts across the street, the man who walks out of the smoke shatters her ordinary reality. Kaelen is a firefighter built like a Greek god, reeking of ozone, raw power, and danger. When their bare hands accidentally brush over a spilled cup of coffee, a terrifying, bone-melting electricity violently awakens the dormant beast hiding in Maren’s blood. She isn't just a broke human student. She’s a wolf—and she has just found her mate. But Kaelen is carrying a lethal secret beneath his heavy turnout gear. He is a royal dragon shifter, living in the shadows to escape a bloodthirsty brother and a throne built on ash. By locking eyes with Maren, he has unknowingly placed a massive target on her back. With a ruthless king's assassins circling the city and Maren's own monstrous heritage clawing to the surface, they must decide: run from the terrifying destiny pulling them together, or let the world burn to protect what is theirs. He abandoned a crown to find peace. Now, he will start a war to keep her.ParanormalWerewolfOther ShiftersHybridSecret IdentityForbidden185 ChaptersOngoingMay You LikeUntamed: Hunted by the Elite AlphasPregnant and Rejected: The Alpha's Biggest MistakeBlood & Betrayal: The Lycan's Hidden HeirSold to the Northern Beast: A Rejected Omega's DefianceClaimed by the Untouchable AlphaThe Outcast Luna’s Royal RebirthUntamed Shadows: The Rebel Alpha's VowForsaken by the Alpha, Claimed by the LycanShadow of the False MateRead now
