This is insane. This human—beautiful though she may be—can’t be my mate. I learned the hard way what it's like to lose people you love. As an alpha, I vowed never to let that happen again. That means keeping my focus. Never letting my guard down. And, most of all, staying away from civilians - i.e. humans. But the feisty chocolatier has me breaking my own rules. The beautiful female tests my patience... and all my control. I should stay away. I can't protect the pack if I succumb to my desires. But what if this is more than desire? What if Fate matched me with this human, and she's my mate? If I don't claim her, I'll lose it all in the worst possible way.

MY REVENGE ON HER WILL NEVER BE SERVED COLD. Seven years ago, I stole a kiss from a debutante on a yacht. For my crime of passion, I spent three years in prison. Now, with the power of the Beretta Crime Family behind me, I’m coming for the Yacht King. I will destroy the man who thought me unfit to touch his daughter. And this time, I’m taking more than just a kiss from her. More, even, than a revenge fuck. By the time I’m through, everything that man owns and loves will permanently belong to me–including his precious princess. Revenge will be mine. She will be mine.

The sweet human is pregnant with my pup. We had one night together, and then she ghosted. Apparently, I'm not part of her ‘life plan’. Whatever, angel. Plans change. She thinks I'm a player. That I won't stick around. She thinks I don't have what it takes to be a dad. That I won't drop everything and dedicate my life to our baby. To our family. To her. She's wrong. She thinks I'll walk away? She has no idea what she's in for. A wolf never walks away from his mate, and he always protects his pups. I may not have marked her yet, but I will. And if she tries to run, I'll follow. I'll hunt my beautiful female to the ends of the Earth.
