Ten years ago, the werewolves won the war. What's left of the human race now lives under their rule, confined to villages and stripped of freedom. Once a year, during the sacred Solstice Moon, human females of age are released into the woods-hunted by werewolves from all over the world, each searching for their fated mate. Mya Collins was raised to resist. Trained from birth as part of a hidden rebellion, her mission was clear: survive, stay hidden, and never, ever get caught. But the night before the Solstice Moon, everything falls apart. The rebel base is raided. And Mya is forced into the very ritual she's been taught to fear her entire life. She thought she knew what she was up against. She thought she was ready for anything. She wasn't prepared for him-the Alpha who claims her as his mate with unrelenting dominance and a deadly grip. Escape isn't an option. Submission isn't in her blood. And now, Mya faces the one thing her training never prepared her for: A bond she can't run from. The Solstice Moon has chosen. And the Alpha never lets go.
