Losing her was the hardest thing he’d ever endured....
Warrior shifter Aiden’s investigation of the trafficking of vampire blood leads to a startling discovery: the beautiful vampire bondmate he thought was dead. Decades ago, they’d defied their powerful families to be together, but then Larissa disappeared without a trace. When their mating link broke, it nearly destroyed Aiden. Now she’s back with no memory of where she’s been. Even more shattering—Larissa claims she has no idea who Aiden is.
Now she’s back....
It’s a race against time to bring down an operation more evil than his pack ever suspected, and Aiden finds himself working side by side with a mate who no longer trusts him—and she wants out. But he lost her once, and he won’t let her go again. Unfortunately, Larissa’s blood is the key to a powerful monster’s dangerous plan—and he’ll stop at nothing to destroy her, sparking off a war between the supernaturals and humans that no one will win.

The sound of Connor’s voice drifted over
Aiden. He struggled to surface from the consuming haze around him. Panic drove
him toward consciousness as he tried to remember what was so important, why he
felt so different.
Larissa.
His eyes snapped open and he realized he was sitting in the
middle seat of one of the pack’s SUVs. And his bondmate was next to him. She
was still unconscious, but alive. Without thinking, he wrapped his arm around
her shoulders and pulled her close. He was still naked except for the jacket
Connor must have thrown over his waist.
Larissa buried her face against his neck and sighed. Which
told him she was more or less sleeping than unconscious. His inner wolf
immediately quieted at the feel of her and it took all his restraint not to
haul her into his lap. Just holding her soothed every part of him. Through her
clothes he could feel her body heat, though her core temperature was much
cooler than his or even humans. But not as cool as regular vamps. As a
bloodborn she had a slightly higher temperature. Leaning down to her neck, he
inhaled her familiar scent and let it roll over him. She smelled like the
forest in winter. And all his. She called to him on the most primal level—had
from the moment he’d first seen her.
Connor was driving and he flicked Aiden a quick glance in
the rearview mirror as he set his cell phone down on the center console. “Glad
you’re awake. How’re you feeling?”
“Like I got run over by a truck.” His chest ached and something
told him it was because of the newly cemented bonding link, not the dart hit
he’d taken. He looked out the window at their surroundings to see that they
were driving down a quiet two-lane highway that wasn’t familiar. The moon and
stars illuminated the road and it was almost three so he’d been out for a few
hours. “Where is everyone?”
Connor’s expression was grim. “Natalia killed a Brethren
member’s brother and we killed a handful of vamps but two got away—Erin and
Noah are tracking them. Ryan and Teresa have taken Natalia back to the ranch.
Kat and Jayce are taking a human who was kidnapped by those asshole vamps to a
friend of Jayce’s who can scrub her memories. The shit has hit the fan. Now how
the hell is it that you have a bondmate? You told me she died.”
He snorted. “I’ve never said those words to anyone.” Sure,
he’d insinuated it, but he’d never flat out said it. Deep down he’d never been
able to admit that Larissa was gone forever even though on an intellectual
level he’d known it had to be true. Without seeing her body with his own eyes,
he and his wolf had rebelled at the thought of her being dead.
