How far would you go if your own blood screamed that you belonged to a predator? Lara has spent years running from a scent that betrays her, surviving in the shadows of the Bronx where no one asks questions. But when Cole, the relentless Alpha of the Umbra Pack, finds her, her forty-eight hours of grace become a deadly countdown. Tribal law is clear: if he claims what is his, there is no turning back.
