The Coldest Dawn

Maya, the pack's scholar and medic, is fleeing a brutal hunter massacre that destroyed her family, burdened by the survivor's guilt of being the one left alive. Her companion is Elias, her childhood best friend and the pack's reckless enforcer, who is secretly hiding a fatal wound to ensure Maya reaches safety before he dies. Amidst a blinding blizzard in the Cascade Mountains, Maya and Elias seek refuge in an abandoned ranger station, the only survivors of a coordinated hunter attack. As the freezing temperatures force them to huddle for warmth, a long-hidden romantic bond ignites between them—only for Maya to discover that the man she has just realized is her mate is bleeding out from a wound that cannot be healed.
