Haylie never expected her life to take a supernatural turn. One ordinary night out with her best friend became the catalyst for everything to change. That was the night she met Liam—a man unlike anyone she'd ever known.

Haylie was drawn to Liam's charm, but she couldn’t have guessed the secret he carried: he was a wolf shifter. Her world unraveled further when she discovered the truth about her own family. The mother she lost at just five years old had also possessed a wolf side, a heritage Haylie had never imagined. Now, the man she was falling in love with and her father were both connected to a hidden world she barely understood.

As Haylie delved deeper into this mysterious legacy, a sinister twist awaited her. Melody, a wicked and vengeful rival, ended Haylie’s life in a treacherous betrayal and took over her identity. Trapped in limbo, Haylie's spirit lingered, tethered to the one person who could save her—Liam.

Fate would have to work its magic to reunite Haylie with the man she loved and to give her the chance to reclaim her life. But time was running out, and the battle for her soul had only just begun.

Fated to a human

I tried to eat as much of my plate as I could, hoping it would give me enough energy for the day ahead. Before we could leave, Dr. McKenzie approached us and asked if we could meet her in her office.

It was around the time McKayla woke up. I handed her a small blue teddy bear my mother had bought her. She adored it, especially the attached rattle and other little details.

We followed Dr. McKenzie down the hospital hallway to her office. As we entered, sunlight poured through the windows, filling the room with warmth.

"Please, have a seat," Dr. McKenzie said, gesturing to the chairs.

I positioned McKayla's stroller next to my seat, wanting to keep an eye on her while we spoke. My father and I sat in the wooden chairs across from Dr. McKenzie, who settled behind her desk.

"My team and I have reviewed the tests and monitored her heartbeat. We've made a decision," she began.
