Marked By Fate

After a devastating breakup, 21-year-old Alina Stone moves back home to her mother and stepfather’s house in a quiet werewolf territory, seeking solace and a fresh start. But her plans for a peaceful life are shattered when she encounters the most infamous playboy at her college—22-year-old Dax Carter, who also happens to be her stepbrother.
Dax is the alpha-in-waiting, and his effortless charm, smoldering good looks, and magnetic presence make him irresistible to every girl on campus. Alina knows his reputation, and the last thing she wants is to become another name on his long list of conquests. Determined to stay under the radar and avoid scandal, she keeps her distance.
But fate has other plans. One fiery encounter changes everything when Dax's wolf recognizes her as his mate. The bond is undeniable, primal, and utterly unbreakable. As Dax’s possessive instincts take over, he defies pack rules and social norms to claim her. Alina must navigate her own conflicted feelings, the wrath of jealous rivals, and the looming threat of exposing their connection.
As secrets unravel and the pull between them grows stronger, Alina and Dax must decide whether to risk it all for love—or sacrifice their bond for the sake of their pack’s traditions.
Will their forbidden love survive the challenges of pack politics, family ties, and the primal power of the mate bond? Or will the forces against them tear them apart?
