I should have died with her.

When my mate died, I was meant to follow. But I survived, and now I’m an outcast among my own people.

Then I meet her.

Madison Page shouldn’t have any effect on me, yet when I lock eyes with her, something inside me stirs. She’s my enemy. But for some reason, I can’t stay away.

I never wanted a mate again, least of all a human.

But when my people demand eight women as tribute, Madison is one of them. The military says she’s a traitor, and I’m left with no choice but to take her to the island I call home.

At first, she’s just another human. Someone I’m forced to put up with. But as fate pushes us to uncover the truth of my past, the more I realize I need her if I ever want to have a future.

In a world torn by war and betrayal, I never expected to find love again. But now, I can’t imagine living without her.
