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 hot water had done wonders. It had soothed my aching muscles and helped to clear my head. I stepped out of the shower, feeling like a new person. I grabbed a soft towel and dried myself off, then walked into the bedroom, ready to face the day.


I found Rebecca waiting for me, a warm smile on her face. She was sitting on the bed, looking relaxed and comfortable.


"Ready for that tour?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.


I nodded, feeling a surge of anticipation. I was eager to see the Emerald Glade pack, to meet the people who lived here, to start a new life. And with how Kaeleen had described it when we were in Moonshade pack, I was curious. Was his pack as beautiful as he made it seem?


"Let's do it," I said, my voice filled with enthusiasm.


"But…I need a change of clothes." I said to her.


"Oh, I'm sure we have something here." Rebecca said as she gave me a bag.
