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

Haylie was stable and breathing again, but the revelation that she was pregnant made my blood boil. How did this happen? What had they done?

The doctor assured me she would recover but needed to be monitored to ensure both she and the unborn child remained stable. She would stay on oxygen to aid her lung recovery.

I opened the door to the hallway and found Liam sitting on the floor, his legs pulled up and his face buried in his arms. He was asleep.

Anger surged within me as I approached him. I needed answers—Haylie couldn't have gotten pregnant on her own. The dead weren't supposed to bear children, let alone mix with the living.

I tapped Liam on the shoulder. "Liam, wake up," I called, my tone sharper than intended.

He stirred, lifting his head to look at me, his bloodshot eyes and pale face revealing exhaustion.
