London never expected to find her fated mate at culinary school—especially not a human.

At twenty years old, London has already faced more than most women her age. As a single mother raising her two-year-old son, Felix, she has put her dreams on hold long enough. Now she’s determined to build a future for them by attending culinary school and creating a life where she and her son can finally thrive.

Then she meets Christian.

Nineteen, charming, and completely human, Christian is the last person London should be drawn to. Yet the moment they meet, something deep inside her recognizes him as the one person she was never supposed to find. Her fated mate.

Christian comes from a close-knit family that has always envisioned a different future for him—one that includes his first love, Chloe. Their families have known each other for years, and everyone expects Christian and Chloe to eventually find their way back to each other.

But Christian never expected London.

As their attraction grows into something neither can deny, Christian must decide whether he is willing to challenge the expectations of everyone he loves for a woman who comes with a child—and secrets that could change everything he knows about her.

Because Chloe isn’t ready to let Christian go.

Determined to reclaim the future she believes belongs to her, Chloe begins working her way between London and Christian, exploiting every insecurity and doubt she can find. And the closer Christian gets to London, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

London isn’t simply a young mother.

She’s a werewolf.

And Felix is something Christian never could have imagined.

Now Christian must decide whether the woman he loves—and the little boy who has already stolen a piece of his heart—are worth risking everything for.

Can Christian accept London and Felix for who they truly are?

Can he stand against the family expectations that have shaped his entire life?

And when Chloe refuses to give up, will her determination destroy the bond between two fated mates before they ever have the chance to discover what their love could become?

Sometimes finding your fated mate isn’t the end of the journey.

It’s where the fight for forever begins.

She never expected her fated mate to be human.

He never expected his perfect future to come with a two-year-old son.

London has spent the last two years doing what she had to do to survive. At twenty, she’s a single mother, a werewolf, and determined to give her little boy, Felix, the life he deserves. Now, with culinary school finally within reach, London is ready to build a future of her own.

Then Christian walks into her life.

One look is all it takes.

He is her fated mate.

The problem?

Christian is nineteen.

He’s human.

And his family has already chosen the woman they believe belongs by his side.

Chloe has been Christian’s first love, and their close-knit families have always assumed they would eventually end up together. She isn’t about to let some mysterious young mother steal the future she believes is hers.

But Christian can’t deny the pull he feels toward London.

The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to resist the connection between them. And the closer Christian gets to London, the more he begins to fall for the little boy who comes as part of the package.

But London has a secret.

A secret that could shatter everything Christian believes about her.

Because London isn’t human.

And Felix isn’t either.

When Chloe begins pulling every string she can to tear them apart, Christian is forced to confront a choice no one expected him to make. Follow the future his family has planned for him—or risk everything for the woman his heart has chosen.

Can a nineteen-year-old human accept a fated mate who is a werewolf?

Can Christian open his heart to the little boy who desperately needs a father?

And when London finally reveals what she and Felix truly are, will Christian’s love be strong enough to survive the truth?

Their bond was written in fate.

Their love will be tested by everything standing between them.

And sometimes, forever comes with a price.
