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.

I opened my eyes slowly and took in the environment. This was unlike anything I knew. This place was pitch dark and it seemed I was the only one here.


"Kaeleen?" I called out hoping maybe he will hear me but my voice just echoes back.


There was something wet beneath me and I noticed I was floating, suspended in a thick, viscous fluid that was as black as pitch and colder than a winter grave. It clung to my skin, heavy and suffocating, a liquid despair that sought to seep into my very pores.


I tried to move but the more I struggled, the thicker the liquid became. It coiled around my limbs like living tar, pulling me down, down, down into an infinite, crushing depth. Panic, cold and sharp, flared within me.


What was going on? I struggled against the liquid, pushing to reach the top just so I could breathe better because my air was now cut out of my lungs.
