River: When I was seventeen I made an unforgivable mistake. My entire clan hates me even though I'm their alpha. I was willing to live alone in the darkness until I saw him. He is mine. Every fiber of my being tells me that. The clan will object to their alpha being with both a human and a man. I don't care. I will have what's mine. Darius: Everyone gets one great love. I've had mine. She died. Now all that's left for me is survival. One day at a time. One breath at a time. But why is it when I look at him I feel like I could love again? I can't betray her memory... But I also can't betray my heart. This MM shifter romance can be read as a standalone.
