The vampire's deathmarked lycan

When Alina strikes a deal with her father to survive, she is bitten by a venomous creature inside a forbidden forest, she wakes up with hazy memories and a bond she doesn't understand-one tied to the cold, infuriating vampire, Valerian. As she recovers in the company of his kind, to unravel the witches secrets and protect her pack, she struggles to make sense of her survival, her growing connection to Valerian, and the mark now etched into her skin. But ancient wars don't die easily, and neither do secrets. Thrust between a mate bond she never asked for and the looming threat of the past returning, Alina must choose where her loyalty lies-before the blood she carries becomes a curse.
