"Mate," he growled.

My initial shock at seeing him out here vanished, replaced by rage.

"Is this a joke?" I snapped. "It isn't funny."

"Funny? This isn't fucking funny."

"You found out Gage rejected me and came to make fun of me? Grow up!"

"What?" he barked.

Maybe he didn't know about Gage after all.

"Never mind. What do you want?"

Why did he call me that? He took another step forward, and his wolf flashed in his eyes. A shiver ran down my spine.

"Why didn't you feel it when I saw you at the stadium?" he growled.

"Are you serious?" I whispered.

"I should be with my team, training for one of the biggest games of the season, but I'm here with you, Odessa. Of course I'm serious!"

Odessa Sloane is an omega just trying to survive college-until her mother marries a billionaire, she's forced to live alongside her arch-enemy, and her fated mate appears... completely off-limits. Staying under the radar is impossible when the Pack's Alpha won't leave her alone.

Maverick is the Alpha Heir and captain of the football team, focused on the season of his life-until Odessa turns his world upside down. As his rise to Alpha draws near and threats close in, protecting her becomes his priority. Bound by fate and divided by pack law, Odessa and Maverick must face forbidden desire, dangerous secrets, and the truth behind the attacks threatening them both.

Will their love survive fate's fire?
