Honor Within (Bonded Fantasy #4)

Burke is one breath from breaking. At war with the inner Mountaincat that stole his birthright in the Wolf Clan, he is a lone alpha, banished and distrusted. When he finds Nomi, a wandering soul uneasy in her Guild, he knows he should stay away. But he can't. At the same time he recognizes she can never be his, for to claim her would require acknowledging the cat he despises inside himself. The balancing act of befriending Nomi and holding his cat at bay is shredding his already perilous control. Then Nomi decides to seduce him ... and the balance is lost.
