He thinks we’re destined to be together. I think he’s crazy.
Ideally, I’ll get justice for my family and leave my pain behind, sans soul mate. But the past has a way of digging its claws in…
Zoe
All I wanted when I came home was to see my brother, Josh, and his mate, Mira. If only things were that simple.
I’m called the “beloved human” of Kade, the alluring golden-eyed leader of the Royal Alexander pride. Its members consider me his possession. I avoid thinking too hard about what that means by teasing him mercilessly.
But since I’ve returned, my nightmares are back, stronger than ever, and they’re starting to bleed into the real world. To make them stop, I have to discover the truth behind the attack that cost me my baby and my fiancé. Their deaths need justice. And I need my revenge.
Kade
Ever since I healed Zoe, the sister-in-law of one of my pride mates, she’s been my responsibility in the group to handle—and to control. I never asked to claim her, and I didn’t want to.
Until now.
She’s the one. My mate. I’ve known it ever since she returned to the pride, and the timing couldn’t be worse. Other shifters are making bets on how soon I’ll lose my title, and fears from a prophesy about Josh and Mira’s children have made our group a target.
I’ll do anything to protect Zoe, to ensure our pride is a safe place for the future we could have together. All that’s left is to convince her—and to prevent my enemies from claiming what’s mine.

From the book:
"Let's get back to this little situation we're in. You caught me. Now what?"
"Like I said. It depends on you."
"Does it?" Zoe worries her lip, the distraction doing little to hide her contemplation or the scheme I see forming. "Then I hate to say this, I really do, but I'm going to have to rehome you. It's just not fair to keep a pet with my lifestyle. I'm never home. I don't--"
I nip her earlobe, pulling on the tender flesh. Her breathy gasp feeds my primitive drives to tame this woman who ran from me. The idea is sweet, nearly irresistible. Zoe's submission would be blissful, but I won't take the chance that the moment (her pleasure is*) over, she'd run.
Releasing her, I lick the earlobe I tugged, soothing any discomfort I might've caused. "I am not a pet, and I certainly am not--"
"You are. It's official, Kade. I gave you tags and everything. It was a rash move on my part. A foolish one, honestly. I should've given this whole ownership thing more thought, but you're cute, and that little rumbly sound you make when you get all fired up is beyond adorable. I just couldn't help myself. But I've had time to think about it, and like I said, it's best if I rehome you."
"Aw...does my pretty kitty miss his owner?"
Green and black blend with the golden brown overtaking the whites of Kade's eyes. Memories of last night and losing myself to Kade's primal side return. Once more, my common sense slips through my fingers. A small sound of surrender escapes me, and I grab the edge of the bar as desire seizes me.
Kade parts his lips. A groan accompanies the slow swipe of his tongue along his bottom lip as he closes his eyes. When he opens them, normal eyes look back at me, but the primitiveness surrounding him doesn't ease. The same hunger I feel is there in his expression.
"Yes. I miss you." He holds his hand out, palm up. "Come to me."
