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 was sitting in the office, deep in conversation with Titan, when Claudine's terrified voice shattered through my thoughts like a thunderclap.

"Liam, you have to come! It's Haylie," she cried, her voice breaking with panic. "She needs you, Liam... she's not breathing!"

Her words hit me like a punch to the chest. It felt like I was thrust into the middle of a horror movie. My chair scraped loudly as I shot to my feet, my entire body frozen with dread. Titan noticed the blood drain from my face.

"I'm coming! Stay with her!" I yelled through the mind link, my voice trembling with desperation.

I looked at Titan, whose brow furrowed in confusion. "What's going on?" he asked.

"It's Haylie," I managed to choke out, already rushing past him toward the door.

Before Titan could say another word, I bolted out of the office. Once outside, I called Ace, my wolf, to help track her scent.
