Astrid dedicated her life to Leon, believing in their love, their pack, their future. But the devastating return of her sister, Clara, as Leon's destined mate, shatters Astrid's carefully constructed world. Betrayal cuts deep, leaving Astrid stripped bare and forced to confront a horrifying truth: her loyalty was misplaced, her sacrifices meaningless.

Just as despair threatens to consume her, Kaeleen, a magnetic and rebellious Alpha from a rival pack, storms into her life, igniting a forbidden passion that challenges everything she thought she knew. He offers her a chance to escape the suffocating control of her past, to claim a life of her own, a life where she is the priority.

But Leon won't relinquish his prize so easily. Obsessed and dangerously possessive, he unleashes a storm of violence and manipulation, determined to drag Astrid back into the darkness. Now, Astrid must make a desperate choice: succumb to the chains of her past, or embrace the dangerous allure of a love that could save her... or ignite a war that will consume them all.

"I wanted to talk to you guys about something," Yvonne said, her eyes finding mine in the dim light of the garden.


Her gaze was so direct, so intentional, that it felt like Kaeleen wasn't even there. It was a look that communicated this was about something more than just idle chatter.


"I'm… I'm thinking of putting on a show," she began, her voice a little hesitant, which was unlike her. "An art exhibition. For local artists, maybe some from other packs. A way to showcase talent that isn't just about fighting or pack politics." She took a breath, and her next words were aimed squarely at me. "I've seen the sketches you do, Astrid. And I was wondering… if you'd be interested in putting one of your works on display."


The thought was exciting, extremely so. And I wasn't that girl that was always scared of being herself, not anymore.


Before I could even find my voice to respond, Kaeleen let out an exaggerated sigh.
