When two worlds collide...

He was born to lead. She was never meant to belong.

Ashton Philips has everything—Alpha status, campus power, and a future carved in stone. All he needs now is the perfect mate to solidify his rule and finally break free of his father's iron grip. But fate doesn’t care about plans. Fate gives him Brayden Hayward. A human. A nobody. His fated mate.

Ashton will do anything to reject her—even if it means becoming the very monster he’s tried to suppress.

Will they implode?

Brayden just wants to survive college, but the brooding, beautiful Alpha seems determined to make her life hell. She doesn’t know why Ashton hates her, but she won’t back down—not when everything she’s fought for is on the line.

Or will they come together as one?

But a collision in the woods changes everything. Bound by fate and torn by fear, Ashton and Brayden must decide if love is worth risking everything… or if destiny has doomed them from the start.
