Lone Wolf (Hildenbrand)

Alphaless. Mateless. Wild. Kai Stone is a bad boy who break hearts… I'll do whatever it takes to make sure it's not mine.After my nightmarish past, starting fresh should be a dream come true. But when my father's death leaves me on the run, I have no choice but to seek shelter with the only family I have left. An uncle I've never even met.My uncle has a bad attitude and pack of friends that remind me far too much of the toxic life I left behind.Cruel, sexy Kai Stone is the worst of them.Occasionally, when the moon is high and full, I swear there's something even beastlike about him. A monster who thrives off the mayhem and chaos that surrounds him. But no matter how hard I fight it, something about him tugs at my very soul.The worst part is, I have a secret. And when Kai discovers it, I have to convince him to let me stay. Worse, I'll have to trust him. And make him trust me. Because I know he's keeping something from me too. And when I learn the truth, it will change everything.If there's one thing Kai refuses to allow, it's outsiders with secrets. Too bad neither one of us knows how to resist a bad idea.
