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.

This couldn't be. It wasn't real. This was a joke. Yes, that's what it was. A fucking joke. But it wasn't funny. It fucking wasn't funny. 


The screen of my phone was a shard of glass in my eye. It burned. Every pixel was a tiny needle of white-hot rage stabbing directly into my brain. I had been staring at it for an hour, maybe two. Time had dissolved into a thick, acidic sludge in the pit of my stomach. I felt like throwing up. Fuck!


I ran to the bathroom and emptied the contents in my stomach. And there was nothing. Fuck this shit. 


The picture. Just remembering it made me want to throw up in anger once more. I saw red.
