PROLOGUE: THE NIGHT THE WOLF WENT SILENT
Six months before the present day
POV: Paul Silverback ...
SHADOW'S CLAIM
All Rights Reserved ©
Story Notes
Shadow’s Claim blends Danielle Steel’s emotional depth with Sarah J. Maas’s romantic fantasy. Nadine Carter, a curvy florist abandoned by her mother, unknowingly carries dormant shifter blood. Paul Silverback, alpha of North Ridge Pack, has been grieving his murdered brother for six months—his wolf Shadow went silent, leaving him broken. When a near-accident brings them together, the fated mate bond stirs Shadow for the first time. But Paul pushes Nadine away, believing his grief will poison her.
Sweet and swoony with some spice, the story explores how love doesn’t fix grief—it walks beside it.
Summary
Florist Nadine Carter buys an abandoned greenhouse at the edge of North Ridge territory, unaware she's an Ember—a human with dormant shifter blood. Alpha Paul Silverback has been silent since his wolf Shadow stopped speaking after his brother's murder. When they meet, the mate bond sparks Shadow back to life, but Paul pushes Nadine away, believing his grief endangers her. When rival pack Ironmoon threatens to take Nadine as compensation, Paul must perform the ancient Rite of Claiming. During the ceremony, Nadine's Ember blood awakens—and she shifts into a Dire-Hound, an extinct earth-magic shifter. To fully heal Shadow, she must confront Garrett, the uncle who murdered Lars. Nadine fights beside Paul, her Hound form blooming flowers with every step, and Shadow finally speaks.
