Jean Pierce was once a legend—an elite sniper, a fearless warrior, a werewolf with an unshakable sense of purpose. But all of that shattered the day a mission went horribly wrong. Now crippled and confined, his wolf silenced and his body broken, Jean is a shell of the soldier he used to be. No hope of healing. No chance of redemption. Just endless silence and regret.
Until he walks in.
Mysterious. Commanding. Dangerous. The man is everything Jean no longer is—and everything he can't stop wanting. Their connection is immediate, electric... and terrifying. But when the stranger utters a single word—"Mate"—Jean's world spins into chaos.
Because mates mean destiny. Mates mean vulnerability. And with enemies circling, secrets unraveling, and old ghosts rising from the shadows, Jean will be forced to choose: retreat into the pain of his past... or fight for a future he never believed he could have.
Love was never part of the plan. But now? It might be the only thing worth living—and killing—for.
