Fated Wolf’s Destiny by Delta James

I always knew I was different, but I had no idea a wolf hid beneath my skin—until I met him.

Isabella
My mentor died under suspicious circumstances. Now I’ve inherited his old vet clinic—and a mystery. Locals whisper he pried too deep into the forests of Shadow Hollow.
I can’t ignore the clues he left behind. Unknown to me, my grandmother was a wolf shifter banished for marrying a human. Then Ryder appears—alpha, protector, and dangerously magnetic. He warns me to leave the past buried. But I can’t.
Around Ryder my wolf side stirs for the first time, craving release. But I can’t shift.
Ryder stands beside me, though the pack Elders don’t trust half-shifters like me. I refuse to run.
Their acceptance of me could save us—or destroy us all.

Ryder
As the alpha of the Nightshade Pack, the weight of our survival rests on my shoulders. With shifter birth rates plummeting and tensions rising, finding a solution has never been more urgent.
Then I met Isabella. From the instant our paths crossed, I knew she was mine. But how can I claim her when she thinks she is a human? Even once she knows there is a wolf inside her she is unable to shift.
With Crimson Claw stalking the shadows, hunting wolves and anyone who stands in their way, her inability to shift puts her in more danger. But Isabella is more than she knows—and I’ll risk everything to uncover the truth.

Time is running out, and without her by my side, both my leadership and our pack’s future are at stake.

When two worlds collide, can love defy ancient boundaries and forge a new path?
