"Havenwood? Sounds... secluded.""It is," he murmured, his eyes dark and intense. "Quiet. Untouched.""Untouched? Or just... hidden?""Secrets linger in the shadows here. Ancient secrets.""Secrets like...?""Like the whispers in the woods. Like the pull of the moon. Like the hunger in my blood.""Hunger?" I breathed, a shiver running down my spine."A hunger for you, Clara. A primal need.""That's... intense.""It's the wolf within. He recognizes his mate.""Mate? You're talking about me?""You're drawn to me, aren't you? The age difference, the danger... it excites you.""I... I don't know what you're talking about.""Don't lie, Clara. Your body knows what it wants. It craves the touch of the wild.""The wild?""The raw, untamed passion that burns within me. Are you brave enough to surrender?""Surrender?""To the primal pull. To the forbidden desire. To... your Alpha."A secluded town. A forbidden age-gap romance. A wolf shifter's primal claim. Will Clara resist the call of the wild, or will she surrender to the intoxicating pull of her Alpha?
