It has taken Aziz Zuberi three years to realise that his beautiful assistant Zaraya is his mate, but now she’s engaged to someone from a rival family, is it too late to claim what’s rightfully his?

Zaraya walked into Aziz’s life like a ray of sunshine three years ago, and the moment they met, sparks flew between their felines. However, fears and overheard conversations soon drove a wedge between the pair, resulting in them both fiercely resenting each other.

After talking to his eldest brother, Aziz realises just who Zaraya is to him, but she’s about to leave for a month-long vacation with her man, leaving Aziz to reevaluate his entire life.

He imagines how it will feel to watch Zaraya marry someone else, carry someone else’s cubs, and commit the most sacred of acts with someone who isn’t him.

Imprint.

He confesses his torment to his family, who all rally to give him advice on how to win her heart, but Aziz worries of the backlash that may come from him pursuing her.

Zaraya’s man, Zikora, is from a rival family. They’re members of the Elites, so if Aziz does manage to steal her away, things could get messy…

But the mate bond doesn’t care about family names, and when Aziz unleashes his long-suppressed feline on Zaraya’s, the last thing on their minds will be the consequences of their actions.

This is the finale of the Rival Shifter Elites series.
