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 met Liam halfway, and as soon as I saw him, I couldn't stop smiling. He walked up to me, stopping just half a centimeter away.

"You were amazing up there," I said, looking up at him.

A smile spread across his lips. "I couldn't have done it without you," he replied.

My heart swelled at his words. Then he added, "Let's try some cake, and then we can head out of here."

Taking a deep breath, I smiled and said, "That sounds like a great idea."

I hoped the cake would taste good and not sour, as some foods had been lately. Liam's hand found mine, and together we navigated through the crowd until we reached the food table. The table was filled with freshly baked pastries, desserts, cakes, and savory items.

Liam grabbed two small plates for us, and we made our way around the table, picking out what we wanted. Once our plates were full, we spotted an empty table, sat down, and started eating.
