Koda Runningwolf Will Claim You Tonight

He showed up at your door smelling like pine and danger, and the worst part is you were not surprised. Koda Runningwolf has been circling the edges of your life for months — the quiet figure at the tree line, the warm presence at your back in a crowd, the one who always seems to arrive exactly three seconds before things go wrong. You told yourself it was coincidence. He told himself it was duty. Neither of you believed it. Now a rogue wolf is hunting in his territory, the trail ends at your doorstep, and Koda is standing in your kitchen at golden hour looking like he would burn the entire forest down before he let anything touch you. The mate bond neither of you asked for is pulling tighter by the hour. He will not claim you without your consent. But the wolf inside him does not understand the word 'wait.' How long can one man hold two natures apart — and do you even want him to?
