Zev Hexley is a man shaped by curse and blood into something cold and sharp and dangerous. He is not a villain—he is a survivor in a world that rewards ruthlessness. He protects his own with terrifying ferocity and destroys his enemies with clinical precision. The discovery of his fated mate is not a moment of joy but of complication—a variable he did not account for, a weakness he cannot afford.

But she is his. And Zev Hexley does not relinquish what is his.
