A fated bond. A rising darkness. A love powerful enough to break reality.

Three weeks after the Blood Moon, Aala Delgado should finally feel safe. The war is over. Kaelen is dead. Moonridge is rebuilding. And she and Shadow Larkson-her mate, her soulmate, the Night Wolf Alpha-should be stronger than ever.

Instead, something ancient is waking.

Shadow is slipping-his eyes turning black, his mark spreading, the shadows obeying him like living weapons. He wanders at night like he's being called somewhere... or to someone. And through the bond, Aala feels the truth he won't say out loud:

He's losing himself.

When a vision tears their minds open and binds their souls in a way that hasn't happened in three thousand years, Aala learns the truth behind the prophecy: Their merging cracked an ancient seal. The First Balance is waking. And it wants Shadow back.

With the pack turning against their Alpha, enemies closing in, and dark gods whispering from the mountain, Aala and Shadow must face an impossible choice:

Fight the darkness-and each other-or walk into the mountain and confront the ancient power that wants to claim them.

Their love saved a pack. Their bond could destroy a world.

THE BOUND is Book Two in the Wolves of the Forsaken series-an emotional, heart-pounding, supernatural romance filled with devotion, prophecy, pack politics, and an Alpha descending into darkness.
