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.

I didn't stop to think about the light or where it had come from. The snowy ground around me was littered with beasts—the three rogue wolves and AJ, all lying unconscious.


I scrambled to my feet and rushed to his side, pulling his massive wolf head onto my lap. "AJ, please... wake up."


I gently shook his shoulder, and he let out a weak cough. His amber eyes opened, staring up at me. Then, his wolf did the strangest thing, he nuzzled his snout directly against my stomach, letting out a low, mournful whimper.


"Let's go back to the room," I whispered. "Can you shift?"


He let out a strained growl, and that was when I saw it—a deep, jagged claw mark across his neck, slick with blood.
