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 watched Astrid as the pack members showered her with congratulations. A smile graced her face, though I could see the subtle signs of discomfort beneath the surface.


She was beautiful. I mean I knew that right from the moment I saw her. I was struck with how beautiful she was that even Rebecca had joked about it but sometimes the most beautiful people are the ones with the scars we never expected. If there was one thing I was sure if, it was the fact hay Astrid was going to fit right in with my pack members. 


Her smile was a bit forced. It hadn't escaped my notice that everyone who had stayed behind after the welcome party were now gathered here. I could see Rebecca and Alex huddled together althought at a distance. Rebecca had a soft smile on her face while Alex stared with that same I tensitu and gave me a nod. Although, I suspected Rebecca, or perhaps someone else, had spread the word about our trip to the Shrine.
