The Wild Between
When heartbreak drives Aurora “Rory” McCall deep into the Beacon Hills preserve, she thinks she’s running from everything — her cheating ex, the hollow ache clawing through her chest, and the dangerous hunger she can’t explain. A hybrid half–werewolf, half–something else, Rory’s been fighting the darkness inside her since the night she walked away from love.
Then Hope Mikaelson — the Tribrid, the most powerful supernatural being alive — arrives in town with her headmaster, searching for a young witch to bring back to the Salvatore Boarding School. One encounter in the woods changes everything. One touch, one breath, and Hope realizes the stranger in front of her isn’t prey, isn’t a threat—she’s hers.
Drawn together by a force older than magic, Hope and Rory ignite a connection that defies logic, blood, and destiny itself. But Beacon Hills has never been kind to love or power. Between Alaric’s warnings, the Mikaelsons’ attention, and a bond that shakes both their worlds, chaos brews on the horizon.
Because Rory isn’t just another wolf with secrets, something ancient stirs in her blood — a power that mirrors Hope’s own.
And when the truth finally surfaces, the world will learn that Hope Mikaelson might not be the only Tribrid destined to change everything.
