“Please… please don’t kill me,” Lily begged with blood and tears streaming from her face as the big wolf hovered over her. “I’ll give you anything you want… money… anything!” she sobbed.
The big wolf studied her for a few seconds and then in one haul, he pulled her car from the ditch where it was upturned and set it on the road. 
But as soon as it set the car on the road, Lily pumped the ignition as fast as she could and sped off leaving a wake of dust in her trail. As she drove, her eyes darted between the road ahead and the rearview mirror nothing with fear that the Big Wolf was chasing her. 
He was gaining in on her… it was only a matter of seconds before he’ll get her and tear her apart. 
She drove as fast as she could, crying and begging on the universe to save her. Suddenly the path curved, surprising Lily who wasn’t expecting the path to take such turn. With full speed, she veered of the road and drove right into a tree. 
She could hear the pounding paws of the Big Wolf… even in her dying state, he didn’t want to relent. 
“Moon goddess, please!” she murmured in her head, tasting her blood which was flowed from her face to her mouth. Just before the darkness enclosed her… she saw it rush towards her, was this really her end?
~~~
On her 18th birthday, Lily’s world crumbled when she caught her mate in bed with her sister, driven out of the pack and declared a rogue, worse still, she didn’t have a wolf. Betrayed and broken, she flees the pack hoping to find refuge beyond Golden Moon Pack lands only to be chased by the biggest wolf she has ever seen and it will not stop until it tears her apart. 
Kai Ryker had given up on finding his mate and dedicated his life to taking care of his pack but when a girl shows up in his pack territory chased by rogues which he hated dearly, he knew he must save her. When his wolf sniffed her scent – he discovered the woman in the car was his mate… but why couldn’t she smell him out? 
How long will it take for Lily to discover that her mate has always being in front of her? And what will she do when she becomes the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy? 

My heart raced. "He mentioned a curse when he—" I stopped, realizing my mistake.


"When he what?" Luna Helen's voice sharpened.


"Nothing," I backtracked, trying to change the topic or to fill it in with another word, but nothing came to my mind. Luna Helen’s eyes narrowed at me suspiciously. &nbsp;


"He came to see you," she stated. It was not a question but an accusation. "Against all advice, despite the danger, he came here."


I remained silent, unwilling to confirm or deny.


Luna Helen sighed deeply, resuming her ministrations to my hair. "That boy could never follow sensible instructions where you're concerned. Even before he met you, he was stubborn. But now?" She shook her head. "It's like trying to divert a river with a teaspoon."


Was that... grudging respect in her voice?


"I don't understand what's happening," I admitted. "Kai mentioned a curse, something about his former mate being a witch, but he didn't explain fully."
