He says forever.

I can't understand why—out of the four hockey players I'm sharing a house with this semester—Finn Howard's the one who catches my eye. The guy never smiles. He doesn't say much and disapproves plenty. But, something about him feels familiar. Something about him feels safe.

The fated mates who rejected me just made me their prisoner. I should've never returned to my pack. Not when I still haven't uncovered the answers about my past and where I belong.

However, instead of two, there are now three brooding, towering alpha brothers.

Blaise can’t afford to lose control. She can’t let her inner monster rise. Not ever again. Even if that means denying her own feelings…and her fated mate. But that’s okay. She’s used to repressing her animal—and her desires. She can keep her distance from him, no matter what her friends think. Nothing has to change. After all, he can’t possibly feel the same instant, soul-deep connection. Despite the way his dark eyes seem to look straight into her heart, seeing everything she tries to hide… he’s not a shifter.
