Alpha's Claim: You Can't Run From Fate

Your wolf just woke up and tore your whole life apart. You were supposed to shift, celebrate, and go home. Instead the bond hit you like a truck the moment Caelum Voss looked at you across the fire — and every wolf in the clearing went dead silent, because they all felt what it meant. He did not ask permission. He did not explain. He simply walked to you, put his jacket over your shaking shoulders, and said: come inside. Now the door is locked. The Alpha is between you and the window. And the worst part — the part you will not say out loud — is that your wolf is not afraid of him at all. She is pulling toward him like a tide. You have eighteen years of freedom behind you and a fated bond in front of you, and Caelum Voss is watching you pace his living room like he has all the time in the world. He does. He already knows how this ends.
