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

That night was magical for Liam and Haylie. They sat together on the deck for hours, sipping hot cocoa and talking about their future. The conversation naturally turned to the baby.

They couldn't help but discuss potential names and imagine what life would be like once their little one arrived. Both were filled with excitement and for the first time in what felt like forever, a sense of relief washed over them.

They allowed themselves to dream about a life of happiness and stability, despite the looming uncertainty of what tomorrow would bring.

As the morning light broke through, the big day had arrived—the day of their court hearing. Haylie woke up feeling a knot of nerves in her stomach, unsure of what to expect. Liam, however, reassured her, his voice calm and steady.

"Everything's going to be okay," he said, giving her hand a comforting squeeze. "Klinton told me they won't be too harsh."
