Calla Reed chose the bond.

Now the pack wants to decide what that choice means.

Three months after standing beside Dax and changing Silverpeak law, Calla is no longer just the human woman fate tied to an alpha. She is his mate, his partner, and the living proof that ancient rules can be challenged. To the younger wolves, she is hope. To the elders, she is a dangerous precedent.

Then a hostile force strikes from the eastern ridge.

The attack leaves Calla branded with forbidden Ashkari runes, an ancient blood-script once used to bind wolves, rewrite loyalty, and strip choice from those marked by it. The runes are not just scars. They are alive beneath her skin, feeding on her bond, weakening the pack’s wards, and awakening something buried deep in her bloodline.

The elders have a cure.

It may save Calla’s life, but it will bind her permanently to the pack’s magic, with no way back and no true freedom left to claim.

Dax would burn the world before surrendering her. Calla refuses to survive by becoming anyone’s possession, even his. As rogue wolves close in and the council turns fear into law, Calla must find a third path before the runes finish what they started.

Because the bond was chosen once.

And now everyone wants to rewrite it.

Marked by the Pack is a dark, emotional shifter paranormal romance filled with fated bonds, forbidden magic, wolf pack politics, dangerous runes, and a heroine who refuses to trade survival for surrender.
