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.

The sight of Elara, her usual serene composure shattered into a million pieces of raw panic, confirmed the depth of the abyss we had just fallen into. Her eyes, ancient and wise, were wide with a terror that mirrored my own.


"Oh no," she breathed, the words a ghost of a sound in the cold night air. She rushed towards me, her gaze fixed on Astrid's still, pale face. "By the Goddess, Kaeleen, what is she doing outside the gate? Why did you let her leave?"


The accusation, though born of fear, struck a nerve. "I didn't let her do anything!" I snarled, my voice a low, dangerous rumble. My own guilt and fear were coiling into rage, and I needed a target. "I just got here and she…she collapsed."
