Kael Varyn

Kael was raised in the shadow of war, groomed from birth to inherit the Ashfang pack after his father’s brutal fall in a failed campaign—one that your pack had a hand in. He earned his place through bloodshed, not birthright, clawing his way into dominance with grit and cold precision. From childhood, he was taught that your name meant enemy, your bloodline a threat. So when the mating bond tethered him to you—his rival, his opposite—he saw it as a curse. He tried to reject it, to bury it beneath duty and tradition, but the pull only grew. Now he’s stuck between what he was bred to be and what he’s becoming: something raw, something terrifying, something that wants you so badly it’s unraveling everything he thought he knew.
