“You can run, Alina. But I’ll always catch you.”
    Alina Ryder lives by one rule—stay invisible.
    After her mother’s remarriage drags her into a mansion full of strangers and a school crawling with enemies, she just wants to survive without being noticed.
    Then she meets him.
    Jaxon Cross. Her new stepbrother.
    He’s infuriating. Arrogant. Too magnetic for his own good. She swears she’ll hate him forever—until the night she sees the impossible.
    Jaxon bleeding out in front of her… and then healing, like nothing happened.
    That’s when he tells her the truth.
    He’s a wolf.
    And she’s his mate.
    But their bond is forbidden. Dangerous. Outlawed.
    She should run—every instinct screams for her to.
    Yet the harder she pulls away, the tighter he closes in, his voice a dark promise in the shadows:
    “You were never meant to escape me.”
