Ivy Panagakos knew the wolf at Vudu was hers the moment she saw him dancing in leather pants and an open vest in Untamed and Undone. Julian Napper's eyes had glowed a fierce blue-green, as if he felt the same for her. Except... he doesn't? Who can tell? He's so fixated on revenge against the woman who got his pack murdered and him tortured by The High Society, does he even notice her advances? Her flirting? Her flat out invitations? She's attempted to seduce him a few times now, to no avail.
Is it because she's a vamp? Sure, she runs sixty-five to his one-hundred or so, but is that really a deal-breaker?
Just when she thinks she's wasted her time, that maybe she's wrong and he isn't her mate, he knocks out a wolf at Marv's Bar - a werewolf joint - for insulting her undead status.
Turns out, he's been denying her as his since he's hellbent on not only finding that two-timing wolf, but also in finding the serial killer vampire who's been targeting blondes across several counties. Julian's a cop. It's his job to be a detective first. But to completely disregard fate?! To deny HER? Unacceptable.
The night after kicking Julian out of her bed and denying HIM for a change, vengeful wolves from Marv's stop by Vixen, the sex shop she works at, to hurt her and get back at her wolf. Julian arrives just in time to rescue her, ripping out hearts while stealing hers. It's in that moment their fate is sealed.
He's vowed to let his anger go for her, but Ivy refuses to let the wolf who got her mate tortured, go free. They continue their hunt, winding up in Whispering Creek. Just when things seemed less complicated, they somehow end up worse.
