Kat, the heir to her pack’s alpha, is the first female ever allowed to compete in the Alpha Games—a brutal week-long contest where shifters from across North America fight for dominance and leadership. Determined to prove herself, Kat enters the games ready to crush expectations and earn respect.
But everything changes when the mysterious Wilds Pack joins the competition. Their elusive leader, Artemon, is brooding, powerful, and infuriatingly magnetic. As Kat battles rival alphas and her own growing attraction to Artemon, she must stay focused—because losing the games means more than defeat. It means dishonor, danger, and possibly death.
