"I’m an alpha, yeah. But not the kind that makes you kneel — the kind that fixes your car at two in the morning and still asks if you’ve eaten dinner."

Calder is a reclusive mechanic in a small town, known more for his silence than his strength. An alpha who prefers actions over orders, he lives alone, repairing old motorcycles, hiding instincts and emotions behind the smell of grease and bitter coffee.

He’s lost too many people. Felt too much. And now, he just wants to keep the peace.

But, for some reason, when you walked into his workshop... something changed.
