Years ago, Diana was publicly rejected by her mate, Alpha Elijah Thorn, who deemed her “too weak” to be his Luna. Humiliated, she left the pack.

Now, she returns—beautiful, powerful, and already engaged to a noble warrior from another pack.

But Elijah’s wolf has never forgotten her.

Too bad… because this time, she’s the one who won’t choose him.


.........

But then there comes AJ—the one who saved Diana.

Five years later, he saved her again, posing as her fiancé when Diana needed someone by her side. While she was forced to face Elijah and endure the torment of their mate bond, AJ stayed. He watched her, protected her, and remained by her side through it all.

But now, one question remains: who is Diana’s true mate? The man who rejected her years ago, or the man who has been saving her all along?

Perhaps the answer lies in the one who must sink his teeth into her skin between her thighs to save her from the torment of the mate bond.

"AJ..." She let out a gasp, though I couldn't tell if it was from pure pleasure or shock at being pinned against the wall.


I had never acted possessive with her before, but she was driving me out of my damn mind. What was she thinking, stripping down right in front of me and guiding my hands down toward her...


I caught her other wrist, drawing her closer until another breath hitched in her throat. "I'm not that gentle, Di," I warned, though my tone was surprisingly soft. "Don't push me."


"Dammit, Diana," I cursed, frustrated beyond belief. "I can hold you all night if you want me to. I can kiss you, make love to you, do whatever you ask of me. But not when you're thinking of another man. Not when you're angry, and not when you're driving me out of my mind with all this confusion!"


I leaned back slightly to study her face. My mouth hung open, and seeing the pain in her eyes almost made me take every word back. My breath hitched in my chest.
