The Alpha's Hidden Hybrid Mate

She's spent her whole life hiding what she is. His wolf refuses to let her hide any longer. Thea Marlowe has one rule: never let anyone see the whole of her. Half wolf, half something the old laws call forbidden, she's spent twenty-six years folding herself into safer, smaller pieces to survive, exactly the way her mother didn't. When Alpha Gideon Fairfax walks into her apothecary investigating a murder, his wolf doesn't recognize one woman. It recognizes two, wolf and something colder, older, and utterly forbidden, tangled together in a bond his own instincts have spent a lifetime being trained to destroy on sight. Gideon has enforced the law that calls Thea's very existence a threat to the boundary between worlds. Now his wolf has chosen her anyway, and a faction of fae purists is hunting every hybrid left before a rare lunar alignment gives them the chance to seal the boundary forever, starting with the woman he's just recognized as his fated mate. To save her, Gideon has to question everything he's built his pack's safety on. To survive, Thea has to do the one thing she's spent her whole life terrified of: stop hiding. With a betrayer closing in from inside his own pack and a deadline neither of them can outrun, Gideon and Thea have until the Hollow Moon to prove that what the old laws call a fracture might be the only thing capable of healing it. This hidden identity, fated mate shifter romance delivers a slow burn that ignites into a bond fierce enough to rewrite ancient law, a hero who chooses truth over blind duty, and a heroine who finally lets herself be seen, completely, and claimed.
