    Being claimed by the Dreki dragon brothers saved my life. If only some new bastards didn’t insist I’m their mate too. 
    If the Darkonian dragon brothers think they can just go dropping claim-bombs and magical contracts on my life, they’re sorely mistaken. Who do these guys think they are, anyway? Entitled dragon princes? Yep. My real dragon mates? Hell, no. 
    At least, that’s what I thought. But the magic of the fates, even if unwanted, proves to be irresistible. It’s now me who hates that my soul craves them. And don’t even get me started on their warlock guard who started this mess in the first place. 
    Lucky for the Darkonians, my dragon’s heart can’t be tamed. They’re even luckier the Dreki brothers don’t tear them apart. 
    I thought the fates were insane before, but it doesn’t compare to what’s happening in my life now. These new awful circumstances prove that I need all the help I can get. I need to unite these two dragon clans. It’s our only way of getting the future we desire. It’s how I will remain free.

    In the untamed heart of the Yukon wilderness, where icy winds howl and survival is both a brutal contest and a triumph of spirit, one dog's journey will awaken the primal instincts that lie buried beneath domesticated civility. Jack London's The Call of the Wild is not merely a tale of survival—it is an anthem to the wild, a hymn to the power of instinct, and a meditation on freedom itself.
    Every crack of a whip, every crunch of snow under a sled, and every flash of gold in the frozen rivers echoes a deeper truth: we are creatures of nature, and nature always calls us home. Through vivid, gripping prose, London paints a world both beautiful and merciless, where loyalty is tested, courage is forged, and the wild is not only a place but a force.
    Step into this feral symphony, where man and beast confront not only the elements but the essence of their souls. It's a story that dares you to explore the untamed corners of your heart and reminds you that the wild is not just out there—it is within.
