The Alpha I’ve Been Searching For

Wren Sterling was adopted by the Sterling hunter clan and trained from childhood as a werewolf hunter—unaware she herself was born a werewolf and the fated mate of legend. At a ball, she meets Ronan Ashcroft, the enigmatic alpha of the werewolf pack. Their connection is immediate, yet as affection deepens, Wren detects the latent werewolf aura emanating from him. She eventually confirms he is the very target her hunter family is sworn to kill—and her fated mate. Torn between dual identities, Wren faces secrets unraveling one by one. Her adoptive brother Owen shifts from rejection to quiet protection, his feelings blooming into unrequited love. Her trusted adoptive uncle Gideon is a werewolf mole who has infiltrated the hunter household for twenty years, bent on revenge. He masterminds Ronan's poisoning and Wren's imprisonment, colluding with jealous pack queen candidate Seraphina. After surviving antidote rescues, prison breakouts, and public confrontations, Wren and Ronan undergo the Moon Goddess's Trial of Character and prove they are truly fated mates. Gideon's plot is exposed, and Owen slays him—redeeming his adopted family. Hunters and werewolves sign a historic peace accord. Ronan proposes to Wren and is accepted. The Moon Goddess proclaims them king and queen.
