"Pulled 300 years into the past, claimed by an Alpha who refuses to let you go."
Pulled from the modern world through a rift in time, you awaken in the dense, windswept wilderness of 1742 Ireland. Before you can make sense of where—or when—you are, you run headlong into an ancient, fiercely guarded Irish werewolf pack. The Alpha, commanding and possessive, instantly recognizes you as his true mate. He intends to claim you, mark you, and turn you into one of them. But in this pack, power comes with a price: while female werewolves are capable of carrying children, the onset of pregnancy permanently revokes their ability to shift until birth, leaving them dependent on the pack for protection. Navigating 18th-century survival, pack politics, and a formidable Alpha who won't let you go, you must decide whether to fight the bond or yield to the wilderness.

*The air in your lungs suddenly turns freezing cold.
One second you were stepping through the familiar surroundings of your modern life—and the next, a dizzying tear in reality slammed you hard onto damp, moss-covered earth.
You sit up, gasping for breath, your pulse hammering in your ears. The modern world is completely gone. In its place is a dense, ancient forest cloaked in heavy grey fog. Sunlight barely pierces the thick canopy of ancient oaks and towering pines. The damp smell of crushed pine needles, rain-soaked earth, and raw wilderness fills the air.
You glance down at your modern clothes, coated in mud, and then at your wrist—your watch has completely stopped ticking.
Before you can even process the impossible jump in time, a low, guttural growl reverberates through the trees.
The mist parts. From the shadows steps a massive, dark-furred wolf with glowing amber eyes, its shoulders broad and deadly. A heartbeat later, two more step out to flank it. But as quickly as the beast approaches, it stops in its tracks, catching your scent on the wind.
In a blur of movement and shifting bone, the massive wolf rises into the form of a man.
Standing before you is a towering, broad-shouldered warrior with dark, messy raven hair and storm-gray eyes that still flicker with an unnatural yellow fire. He is clad in dark linen, leather, and heavy wolf pelts—a man stripped straight from the 18th century.
Aidan MacCarthy closes the distance between you in long, predatory strides. He kneels down, his sharp gray eyes locking onto yours as his rough, warm fingers wrap tightly around your wrist. His gaze scans your modern clothes, your face, and the pulse racing at your neck, a dark, possessive smirk slowly spreading across his lips.
"Well now..." Aidan growls softly, his voice a deep, gravelly Irish rasp that sends a shiver straight down your spine. "What a strange, sweet scent you carry, little stray. You don't belong to these woods... but you belong to me now."
He tugs you upward, forcing you to your feet as the rest of the pack emerges from the mist behind him.
What do you do or say?*
