The only thing Anya Volkov wants is to eradicate the disease that killed her mother and changed the trajectory of her life. But when she gets recruited to join a team of researchers to find a cure for a bloodthirsty virus, she is thrust into a terrifying world of hybrids, blood and gore.
Alexander "Kai" Wilde wants nothing more than to find a cure for the virus that plagues his community so he can go back to his normal life. He'll do anything to get what he wants even if it means confronting his own demons. As the longer there isn't a cure, the greater the risk of the government discovering them.
Although they can't stand each other, they are forced to work together.
What happens when Anya discovers that they are mates? Especially since Kai himself doesn't want a mate.
They'll have to figure it out fast as danger looms in the distance and nothing is as it seems.
