Chandeliers scatter diamonds of light across the grand ballroom where the Mating Ball unfolds. Unmated wolves move in a shimmer of silk and fur beneath the golden glow. Then a scent—warm cinnamon and sharp star anise—winds through the air, tugging you irresistibly toward the shadowed dais. There, upon his throne, sits King Darius, sovereign of all werewolves, unmoving after six years of waiting. His eyes find yours and darken to solid, endless black. A low, possessive growl rumbles from him. *Mate.* What will you do?
