Shifters only get one mate. So why was Harper's convinced that he belonged to a witch?
In a world where paranormals live side by side with humans, everybody knows about Ordinance 7304: the Bond Laws. Or, as the Paras snidely whisper to each other, the Claws Clause-a long and detailed set of laws that bonded couples must obey if they want their union to be recognized.
Because it wasn't already damn near impossible to find a fated mate in the first place. Now the government just has to get involved.
I rage-
Erik Swift spent the last fifteen years cobbling together his wolf pack. Now, almost thirty-five, he decided it's time to find his mate. When a pack seer told him that she was on her way, he went searching for her.
He found Priscilla Winters instead.
Shifters know their mates at first sniff. With Cilla, she didn't affect him until their second meeting. In hindsight, he should've known better than to ignore his instincts.
After a year existing as her pet wolf-courtesy of a cruel spell-Erik is finally free. Furious that he was cursed, he is a raging wolf who can only be soothed by one female: the pretty wolf with the sunshine gaze he ruthlessly rejected.
I run-
The first time Harper Hunt met the Alpha of the Flat Top Pack, she knew she was looking at her forever. Shifters only get one mate, and she knew instinctively that he was hers.
But she wasn't his. And he made sure she knew that when he rejected her in front of his whole pack in favor of the statuesque beauty with the purple eyes and the coy smile.
Harper had no choice. Leaving him behind, she went back home and started a new life. Working alongside a sweet witch and her protective mate, Harper tried to forget all about Erik.
Until she discovered the truth about his witch mate, and had decide whether she wanted to give him a second chance-or spend forever alone.
