Crown of Moonfire

I don't believe in mates... so why does my wolf claim the one woman I'm forbidden to touch?I don't do attachments.Not after what I've lost, and definitely not with a girl who looks like she's one step from running.She's reckless, sharp, and hiding something dangerous. I should stay away.Then everything snaps.One failed trial, one surge of power, and suddenly I'm bound to her-illegal, permanent, and close enough to feel everything she feels.I try to fight it. I fail.She stands when others break. She risks everything for people who don't deserve it. She makes me want something more.We train. We clash. We almost cross a line we can't undo.Somewhere in the chaos, I realize she's already mine.Then the truth hits.She's a princess promised to another-and if anyone finds out about us, it could tear the realm apart.Because if I don't let her go...I won't just start a war.I'll destroy the only thing she was born to rule.
