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.

It was already evening by the time I made it back home from work. I took a quick shower before searching for Astrid because whenever I was home, I only wanted to be in her presence. 


I was about to go to her room when I ran into Lila who was coming out with a blanket.


"She's in the garden. I was about to bring this to her." She said, showing me the blanket.


"Don't worry, I'll get it to her." I told her as I took it from her.


With a smile and a thank you, she left. Lila was a huge bundle of energy and she was a suitable assistant for Astrid. I found Astrid exactly where Lila said she was, in the quiet sanctuary of the flower garden my mother had planted years ago. She was sitting on the huge wooden swing that hung from the thick branches of an ancient oak tree, her feet barely touching the ground, her gaze lost somewhere in the riot of colorful blossoms before her.
