Moonfire Legacy - Crown of Moonfire

I don't believe in mates… so why does my wolf claim the one woman I'm forbidden to touch? I don't do attachments. Not after what I've lost, and definitely not with a girl who looks like she's one step from running. She's reckless, sharp, and hiding something dangerous. I should stay away. Then everything snaps. One failed trial, one surge of power, and suddenly I'm bound to her—illegal, permanent, and close enough to feel everything she feels. I try to fight it. I fail. She stands when others break. She risks everything for people who don't deserve it. She makes me want something more. We train. We clash. We almost cross a line we can't undo. Somewhere in the chaos, I realize she's already mine. Then the truth hits. She's a princess promised to another—and if anyone finds out about us, it could tear the realm apart. Because if I don't let her go… I won't just start a war. I'll destroy the only thing she was born to rule.
