River Runs Red by Kay Elle Parker

River:
Born between two worlds, belonging to neither.
Raised as a Huntress, sheltered by her mother’s clan and trained to be a warrior, River has spent her life fearing the memory of her father’s pack, and the brutal beasts within. After being attacked as a child by one of the shifters under her father’s rule, she has never set foot in the pack’s reserve again.
On her twenty-fifth birthday, she’s tasked with visiting her dying grandmother, the pack matriarch.
Only not everything is that simple.
Broken agreements. False truths. Manipulation and avoidance.
Promises made years ago that must be kept.
Red capes and wicker baskets.
In the reserve, pack law is sacred.

Gabriel:
Thirteen years he’s waited for his mate.
Sacrifices made to protect her, to keep her safe from the others in the pack who would claim the Alpha’s daughter for their own, in order to rise swiftly through the hierarchy to lead the pack.
When nature reaches out with meddling fingers, it’s not only his inner beast he needs to fight in order to take what is owed to him.
A deal was made.
The deal was broken.
Now all hell is breaking loose, and the one thing he treasures is the one thing he stands to lose.
