CLaimed by the Wolf King - A Fated Mates Enemies-to-Lovers Possessive Alpha Shifter Romance #971408

She ran from one pack. She wasn't supposed to fall for another.

Selene Morrow spent five years becoming a woman who needed no one. A travelling healer with a gift that lets her read the deepest wounds of anyone she touches, she's built a life in the margins of the supernatural world—belonging to no pack, trusting no Alpha, and surviving on her own terms. She was good at it. She was safe.
Then Kael Dravon's wolves caught her at the Highland border, and safe stopped being an option.

Kael didn't want the crown. He took the throne of the Highland Territories to tear down the brutal regime that ruled it—and the moment Selene is dragged into his war room, every vow he made to rule without wanting anything shatters. She's his fated mate. His wolf recognizes her before his mind catches up. The problem is that she has every reason in the world to hate what he represents, and no reason at all to trust an Alpha king.

But war is coming. A rival warlord has spent years targeting the one vulnerability in Kael's power—a fracture in the ancient magic that protects his territory, a weakness that only a sealed Mate Bond can heal. If Selene walks away, four thousand wolves lose everything. If she stays, she risks becoming the one thing she swore she'd never be again: a woman whose freedom belongs to someone else.

The only problem? Her gift tells her Kael isn't what she feared.

When she touches him, she reads grief instead of cruelty. Loneliness instead of ambition. A man who helped a stranger escape five years ago and never asked for anything in return.
She reads a man who fell for her before he ever knew her name.
Now Selene has three weeks to decide if a life spent running from belonging is really freedom—or just another kind of cage. Because the Wolf King isn't demanding her submission. He's asking for her trust. And that might be the most dangerous thing he could have done.
