Being the Alpha means making the hard choices. Being a cop means following the law. Stephen Butler is about to learn he can't be both.

Chief of Police Stephen Butler didn't ask to become a werewolf. His best friend infected him with an experimental serum, turning him into the genetically perfect Alpha, humanity's last hope to save a dying species. Now Stephen leads a pack while trying to maintain order in a city where humans have no idea monsters walk among them.

Balancing three fierce werewolf women sharing his home, a police department he can't abandon, and a volatile inner wolf he barely controls, Stephen's two worlds collide when a priceless Japanese demon sword is stolen and three humans are murdered. The theft triggers a deadly game involving manipulative goblin crime lords, honor-bound vampires, and territorial politics that could ignite a supernatural war.

But the real nightmare begins when something dark starts hunting his city, a soul-devouring creature born from pure hatred that kills with a touch. As bodies pile up and a rival Alpha threatens invasion, Stephen faces an impossible choice: uphold his oath to protect and serve, or embrace the killer his pack needs him to be.

When Commander Kaden Maxwell demands Stephen's surrender and his pack's women, the time for compromise ends. In a world where ancient Accords barely hold the peace and extinction looms over his species, Stephen must decide what kind of Alpha, and what kind of man, he's willing to become.

Some transformations go deeper than fur and fangs.

An urban fantasy thriller that explores the cost of leadership, the weight of duty, and the struggle to remain human when your humanity is the one thing you're losing.
