The Dragon's Wolf

A Dark AMBW Time Travel Mafia Dragon Shifter Romance

He burned a century of his life to come back from the dead. He didn’t expect to find her hiding his heir.

Tiana Banks is the "Grim Reaper of Matrimony," Manhattan’s sharpest divorce attorney. She doesn’t believe in happily-ever-afters, and she certainly doesn’t get intimidated by powerful men. Until she meets Ryuji Sato.

Ryuji is the ruthless Oyabun of the Sato Yakuza clan. Cold, arrogant, and lethally dangerous, he’s also an ancient Dragon shifter who commands time itself. He hires Tiana to execute a spiritual divorce from his traitorous wife, dragging her into the shadowy Tokyo underworld.

But when an ambush involving forbidden tech hurls them back in time to 1923, right before the devastating Great Kanto Earthquake, their professional arrangement shatters. Trapped in a burning city, their survival instincts trigger a primal, forbidden heat. Tiana awakens as a latent Wolf shifter—the natural anchor to Ryuji’s chaotic Dragon.

To save her from the void, Ryuji makes an impossible sacrifice, marooning himself in the past and forcing Tiana back to the future alone.

Three years later, Tiana is living in hiding, protecting the secret son Ryuji never knew existed—a powerful Chimera the magical High Council would order executed on sight. Tiana thought Ryuji was dead. She grieved him.

But a Dragon does not let go of what is his.

When Ryuji tears his way back to the present, bearing the scars of a hundred years of exile, he finds Tiana and the son she kept hidden. The reunion isn't sweet; it’s a collision. Ryuji demands his heir. Tiana will burn the world down before she lets him take her son.

With the High Council hunting their child, the Dragon and the Wolf must stop fighting each other and unite against a common enemy. Can they rewrite the ancient laws that forbid their existence, or will their broken past destroy their only future?
