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.

My mind refused to accept it. It was like trying to solve an equation where the numbers made no sense. It was like there was just a piece that did not quite fit no matter how hard I tried to make it fit. This wasn't possible right?


"No," I whispered, shaking my head. The movement was small and jerky. "No, that's… that's not possible."


Elara fixed her gaze on me, her eyes pitiful as she stared at me. She didn't argue. She just waited, letting the truth sink into the cracks of my denial. It was like she knew I was just denying everything right now.


"How?" I asked, my voice pleading for a different answer, a different explanation. "The mating bond… It's a sacred ritual. It has to be completed by both people. We never… I never did that with him. The only person I have ever completed the bond with is Kaeleen. My soul is his. We are bound to each other."
