博客來In a world that learned to live beside wolves, some instincts were never meant to stay buried.
Humans and wolves coexist under fragile accords, bound by law, secrecy, and restraint. Peace endures not because danger is gone, but because it is managed, monitored, and buried in archives few are allowed to access.
Elodie Langford believes she understands control.
A disciplined academic with a carefully curated life, she has built her identity around intellect, restraint, and survival. Being chosen to present her research at a prestigious interpack symposium feels like validation. Proof that she has outpaced her past and earned her place in a world governed by rules.
Then the attack happens.
Elodie survives, but survival fractures something fundamental. Her senses sharpen beyond reason. Her emotions turn volatile. Her body responds with instincts she cannot explain. Doctors call it trauma. A psychosomatic response. Elodie accepts that diagnosis, because the alternative suggests a truth her world no longer tolerates.
Evander Voss knows better.
An Alpha entangled in interpack politics and institutional secrecy, Evander has seen the signs Elodie refuses to name. Protecting her means challenging powerful systems, uncovering suppressed records, and confronting a forbidden bond that should never have formed between them.
As Elodie begins digging into sealed archives and fragmented evidence, she realizes the attack was not random. Her research was not overlooked. Her presence was anticipated.
Someone knew what she was becoming.
And someone is waiting for her awakening to finish.
