PACK RULE #8: NEVER LIE TO YOUR MATE.I broke that rule the day I showed up on her doorstep.I’m sworn to protect my kind from any kind of threat.As a human, she thought I was there on friendly business.Didn’t know I meant to take down her shifter boss.I didn’t know she’d flip my world upside down.One whiff of her scent, and I was lost. No—found.I couldn’t leave without her. So, I spent the night. Made her fall for me.But she doesn’t know what I am. What I’ve done.I’m not just a ranch hand—I’m a shifter enforcer.The clock is ticking before I have to finish the job. I must win my mate’s heart and claim her before the lies catch up to me.Before she finds out what I am and what I have done.Or what I will do to keep her safe.And mine.
