CUTTING THE CORD: my ex-husband regret

Harper Winters always believed in facts, not fairy tales. As a top anthropology student in Crescent Falls, she's more interested in ancient myths than in dating or fitting in. But when she enrolls in Professor Adrian Blackwood's class on folklore, she's drawn to the mysterious professor in ways she can't explain. His dark eyes hide secrets, and his presence sends shivers down her spine. What Harper doesn't know is that Adrian is hiding more than just a passion for history-he's the Alpha of a powerful werewolf pack, sworn to protect the supernatural world from lurking threats. He's also harboring an agonizing secret: Harper is his fated mate, bound to him by forces neither can control. But if he reveals the truth, he risks unleashing a deadly prophecy that could destroy them both. When Harper's research into the town's legends leads her into the heart of a deadly conspiracy, she finds herself caught in a battle between rogue wolves, ancient curses, and her own growing powers. Her mother's cryptic warnings and Harper's vivid dreams reveal a hidden lineage she never knew existed-and a destiny she can't escape. With the vengeful rogue wolf Marcus threatening to tear Adrian's pack apart, Harper must decide if she can trust the one man who's been keeping her in the dark. As danger closes in, and the lines between friend and foe blur, Harper and Adrian are forced to confront their unbreakable bond and the dark forces determined to destroy them. In a world where nothing is as it seems, Harper's only chance for survival lies in embracing the wolf within her-and the Alpha destined to be by her side. But some bonds come with a deadly price...
