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.

"Goodnight." I said as I walked into my room and she went her way.


The room was different from the one Kaeleen uses, I noted as I closed the door behind me. He wasn't in here and Rebecca has showed me his room when she gave me a tour of the house. While mine was smaller…which was a bit of a stretch because it was bigger than even Leon's room at the Moonshade pack, it was clearly intended for a single occupant. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. The day had been a whirlwind of emotions, and all I wanted to do was collapse into bed and forget about everything.


I took a shower first to wash away all the sweat and stickiness. I wouldn't even deny it, I enjoyed the shower a lot. Maybe some other time I could use the bath. It seemed like it was calling my name and I wasn't one to resist the temptation of something that looked so good. And besides, it was going to be my first experience so I was going to make it soecial. Soon.
