She doesn't bow in the boardroom. She bites.
Nika Horvat was always the good girl.
At home. At work. With her friends… and with the boyfriend who never deserved her.
Tired of living a life that never quite felt like hers, she escapes to Croatia—just long enough to breathe, to think, to finally feel something real.
Instead, she gets bitten.
What she thought was a stray dog leaves behind something far worse than a wound.
The changes come fast. Sharper senses. Stronger body. A hunger she doesn’t have a name for yet, and a temper she’s starting to stop fighting.
By the time Nika returns home, she isn’t the same woman who left.
She’s not good anymore.
She’s free.
Conrí Gallagher knows something is wrong the moment he catches her scent.
Not human. Not wolf.
Something else.
He follows her expecting weakness. Fear. The instinct to submit.
He finds none of it.
She doesn’t bow to his authority. She doesn’t flinch at what she’s becoming. If anything, she’s leaning into it—and that should make her dangerous.
It does.
The hybrid shouldn’t exist. Which means Conrí should end her before she becomes something he can’t control.
The problem?
He’s not sure he wants to.
