Sanctuary Series Book Five
Rose doesn't want the blessing of a mutual merge or a soul mate. All she wants is Noah. Unfortunately for her, fate has other plans.
Well, screw fate.
Rose has been betrayed by wolves before. She's not about to let it happen again. She denies the call of her wolf, even though it causes excruciating pain, and refuses to merge with the beast. No animal is going to choose her mate. Being with Noah is worth the risk of defying destiny, even if it kills her.
Noah doesn't believe in predestined soul mates. True love is something you earn through hard work and sacrifice.
Sometimes it requires the ultimate sacrifice. When Rose is chosen for a mutual merge, he knows the right thing to do is walk away, even if it destroys him.
