"Fleeing her abusive ex, Lena seeks solace in a secluded village haunted by whispers of a dangerous wolf pack. Drawn to Kael, the mysterious leader with piercing eyes and a protective aura, she discovers he's more than human-he's the alpha of the pack. As her past closes in, Lena is thrust into a world of forbidden love and ancient secrets, where trusting Kael could save her life-or destroy them both."
The moon hung low in the sky, its pale light cutting through the haze of clouds as Lena's car roared down the empty highway. Her hands clutched the wheel so tightly her knuckles ached, but she didn't dare loosen her grip. Her breath came in shallow gasps, her chest tight with the weight of fear. The voicemail replayed in her head, though her phone lay shattered on the passenger seat.
You can't run from me, Lena. You're mine.
The words echoed like a curse. She pressed harder on the gas, the engine groaning in protest as her car surged forward into the wilderness. Trees rose on either side of the road, tall and ancient, their shadows stretching across the asphalt like skeletal fingers.
When the car sputtered and jerked, she screamed at it, slamming her palm against the dashboard. "Not now! Please, not now!"
But the engine gave a final, pitiful whine before the car rolled to a stop. The silence that followed was deafening, save for the distant sound of the wind rustling through the trees. Lena sat motionless, staring out at the dense forest that bordered the road. She was miles from anywhere.
"Damn it," she muttered, pounding the wheel. Tears pricked at her eyes, but she blinked them away, forcing herself to focus. Crying wouldn't save her now.
Grabbing her coat and bag, she stepped out into the cold night air. The forest loomed over her, dark and foreboding, and the faint smell of earth and moss filled her nose. She glanced up and down the deserted road, hoping for the glow of headlights and the hum of an approaching car. But there was nothing-only shadows and silence.
The village. She'd seen a sign for it a few miles back. Ravenwood, population 217. It wasn't much, but it was her best shot. Pulling her coat tighter around her, she set off down the road, her boots crunching on the gravel.
By the time she reached Ravenwood, dawn was breaking over the horizon, casting the village in shades of muted gold. It was small-smaller than she'd imagined. A handful of wooden houses, a general store, a church with a steeple that seemed to pierce the sky. Smoke curled lazily from a chimney, the only sign of life.
Lena stumbled into the village square, exhaustion weighing her limbs. She didn't even notice the older woman watching her from the porch of a weathered inn until the woman spoke.
"You look like you've been through hell, dear."
Lena flinched, snapping her gaze toward the voice. The woman's face was kind but lined with age, her gray hair pulled back in a loose bun. She wore a shawl draped over her shoulders and held a steaming mug in her hands.
"I..." Lena hesitated, unsure of what to say. "My car broke down."
The woman nodded, as if that explained everything. "Come on in. You look like you could use a warm meal and some rest."
Relief washed over Leona like a wave. "Thank you."
The inn was small but cozy, with a fire crackling in the hearth and the faint smell of bread baking in the kitchen. The woman-who introduced herself as Maren-showed Lena to a room upstairs. Before leaving, she offered a parting warning.
"Lock your door at night, dear. And whatever you do, stay out of the woods. The forest has its shadows, and not all of them are friendly."
Later that day, Lena ventured into the village to explore. Despite Maren's kindness, the rest of the villagers were less welcoming. They eyed her with suspicion, their whispers following her wherever she went. She couldn't tell if it was because she was an outsider or something else entirely.
At the general store, as she browsed the shelves for supplies, she heard raised voices outside. Curiosity got the better of her, and she stepped out to see what was happening.
Two men were arguing in the middle of the square, their faces red with anger. Between them stood a tall man with dark hair and broad shoulders, his presence commanding and magnetic.
"That's enough," the man said, his voice low but firm. Instantly, the two arguing men fell silent, casting resentful glances at each other before stalking off.
The man turned, his gray eyes locking onto Lena. For a moment, she couldn't breathe. His gaze was piercing, like he could see straight through her.
"You're new," he said, his tone neutral but curious.
Lena nodded, her throat dry. "I... I just got here."
He studied her for a moment longer before offering a faint nod. "Welcome to Ravenwood. Stay out of trouble."
With that, he turned and walked away, leaving Lena standing there, her heart pounding for reasons she couldn't quite explain.
That night, Lena sat by the window in her room, staring out at the dark forest. Maren's warning echoed in her mind, but she couldn't shake the feeling that there was something out there, something watching her.
Just as she was about to close the curtains, a shadow moved at the edge of the trees. She froze, her breath hitching. At first, she thought it was just her imagination, but then she saw it-a pair of glowing silver eyes staring back at her.
Her heart thundered in her chest. She wanted to scream, to run, but she couldn't move. The eyes held her captive, their gaze unblinking. Then, as quickly as it appeared, the shadow vanished, leaving only the swaying branches in its wake.
Lena stumbled back from the window, her mind racing. What had she just seen?
She didn't have time to dwell on it. A knock at her door made her jump.
When she opened it, Kael stood there, his face grim.
"You need to leave, Lena," he said quietly. "The longer you stay here, the harder it will be for anyone to protect you."
