Fated Guardian by Vera Rivers

I was supposed to stay hidden, not fall into the arms of a wolf.
The forest used to be my sanctuary, but now it feels like a prison I can’t escape. As a fae living on the outskirts of a powerful shifter pack, I’ve learned to keep to myself.
But when Nolan, a ruggedly handsome wolf shifter, steps into my hidden world, everything changes. Assigned to guard me, he becomes my protector, my temptation, and possibly my downfall.
He’s forbidden—our worlds are too different, and I know I should keep my distance. He’s everything I shouldn’t want—loyal to his pack, bound by duty, and yet… he makes me feel alive.
But with rogue shifters threatening our safety and my past looming like a shadow, I’m forced to confront my true feelings for him. His loyalty to the pack demands that he find a mate, and I’m not the one he’s supposed to choose.
With time running out and enemies at our door, we must decide if our love is worth risking everything.
