Sneaking into the human realm for the first time seemed like a brilliant idea, until Newt finds himself fleeing through dark woods from hungry predators. His panicked magic turns him into a glowing beacon instead of hiding him. But discovering his destined mate among the pack complicates everything. Accepting their bond means defying laws that carry deadly consequences, while walking away means losing the one person who makes him feel truly seen for the first time in his life.

Vaughn has enough problems without a small, violet-eyed fae stumbling into his life trailing chaos in his wake. The pack beta is barely holding himself together, and the last thing he needs is complications. But when this innocent creature with cotton-candy hair and a talent for accidentally destroying appliances shows unexpected courage, something shifts in Vaughn's damaged world. If only he can figure out how to keep them both safe when danger seems to follow his chaotic mate everywhere.
