To save her village, Lilah volunteers to be hunted.
Two hundred years ago, civilization collapsed when humanity discovered it wasn't alone. Now survival is measured in territory, and Lilah's village barely clings to life between rival wolf packs.
The Choosing is an old wolf rite. Until recently, no human survived it. Now, a new drug mixed into the wolves' ceremonial cup ignites a powerful mating heat, giving humans a chance to survive being claimed by a wolf.
If Lilah reaches the far edge of the wolves' territory before sunrise, she'll return home with enough food to carry her people through the winter.
If she's caught, she'll belong to the wolf who claims her.
Gareth never intended to join the Choosing.
A wolf without blood ties to the pack, he's spent years protecting its traditions instead of taking what he wasn't born to. But from the moment Lilah stands before the pack and demands her terms, he knows he won't let another wolf catch her.
As the heat drives them deeper into the wilderness and closer together, instinct tells Gareth to claim her. His heart tells him to wait.
Because a mating bond may begin with the drug, but forever should begin with a choice.
With rival wolves closing in and the future of Lilah's village hanging in the balance, Gareth must prove that forever can't be forced. It has to be chosen.
Chosen Ground is a complete standalone novel in the Predator x Prey world. Perfect for readers who love protective wolf shifters, primal chase, bonded mates, forced proximity, possessive heroes, he falls first, high-consent romance, found family, explicit spice, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
