He kissed me breathless, senseless—he had me wanting, shamelessly panting against the cool glass of the courtyard, open for anyone.

“We can’t! Someone could see—!”

“Let them," he husked against my neck. "I want them to see.”

My name is Ayda Sabine, once the princess to the illustrious Emerald Lake pack, now a single mother living a life of destitution in Eventide City. My status has been stripped from me, banished by my parents for my digression of falling outside my betrothal agreement. 

To make matters worse, I don't remember who the father of my son is.  All I can recall are his golden eyes. However, when the opportunity arises for me and my son to ascend the social ladder as the personal stylist to Narcissa Onasis of the Diamond Spring clan, I finally get the opportunity to find the man who could be my true mate. 

If Narcissa's fiance, Prince Sebastian of the Obsidian Moon doesn't stop me.

Ayda’s words kept rattling in my mind, ricocheting off age-old insecurities and doubts as I stalked the deserted halls to my upstairs suite. Where I would be alone for the night because we’d both agreed upon space. Or I was avoiding another potential fallout. Words would be said, and my anger would get the best of me and create issues we didn’t need.


Goddess’ backside, weren’t true mates supposed to get along swimmingly? Practically read each other’s minds? Were we not meant to be? Is that why fate had tangled so many obstacles in our path?


But no, we still felt the pull, felt that inexplicable bond between us.
