Reverence (Southwestern Shifters #5)

He survived the unthinkable. Now he must decide if he’s strong enough to love a wolf.

Harley’s life shattered the night a vengeance-driven shifter kidnapped him and dragged him into a world he never knew existed.Werewolves. Alphas. Violence. Survival. He escaped—but freedom doesn’t erase trauma.Fear and rage coil inside him, unpredictable and dangerous.And trusting another shifter? Impossible.

Val Whitley has devoted his life to serving Alpha Anax Marcus Criswell and protecting the Southwestern pack.But after a brutal accident leaves him blind in one eye, Val believes he’s broken—unworthy of the guard, unworthy of respect, unworthy of a mate.So when he’s sent away on assignment, he assumes he’s being quietly cast aside.

Instead, he finds Harley.

From their first volatile meeting, the pull between them is undeniable.Instinct says mate. Harley says never. But Val isn’t walking away—not when fate, the pack, and his own battered heart tell him this human is his.Protecting Harley may cost Val everything he has left. Loving him may demand even more.

In a world ruled by dominance and loyalty, can two wounded souls find reverence in each other…or will the scars of the past destroy their chance at a fated future?
