Caidrik McGregor has spent his life as a mercenary, fighting for those who could afford his blade and walking away before the dust settled. Now, he’s been offered something far more dangerous-a chance to claim the Alpha seat of the Slate Pack, the same pack that cast out his family generations ago. To take it, he must survive the brutal trials, silence the doubters, and crush the rivals waiting for him to fail. The prize isn’t just power. It’s Nadia Hodge, the newly discovered daughter of the current Alpha, bound to him if he survives.
