Defiant Queen by Ally Summers

Choices should come easily to a queen.
Especially a queen like me, ruling an army of she-panther shifters.But it’s not that easy. Not when we’re in the fight of our lives.
My mate has tracked me to Sullen’s Grove. Sure, he might be gorgeous and charming, but I’d rather keep my magic and power than marry him.
Case Maddox has a lot to learn about how I rule.
I’m going to change the course of history. I’m going to free all the Nox like me from having to fulfill the ancient magical rules of destiny and bondage. Only, I don’t expect to fall for a human along the way.
Zac complicates everything. He was never supposed to get tangled in our shifter war, but there are some powers even I can’t protect against.
I may be the only one who can save him, but what do I have to give up in return?
