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

After Liam and Titan left, Claudine and I spotted an open table with a couple of chairs. She carried her daughter, snug in the carrier, and we made our way to the table. We sat down, placing the carrier between us.

"So, you're a mom now," I said, folding my hands in my lap. "How does it feel?"

Claudine smiled at me, her face lighting up. "Well," she said in a teasing way, "my nipples hurt, and my body will never be the same."

My eyes widened as I stared at her, unsure how to respond. She noticed and laughed softly before looking down at her baby, fast asleep in the carrier. Her expression softened, a tender warmth spreading across her face. "But waking up every morning to my daughter? It's like a dream come true. I wouldn't change a single thing."

My heart swelled at the sight of her love for her child. It was beautiful, a bond so special it was almost tangible.
