Betrayed by her fated mate and branded an outcast, Hailey's life has been nothing but pain—until she’s saved by Asher, the powerful Lycan king who becomes her second chance at love and freedom.

But her past refuses to stay buried. Levi, the mate who rejected her, returns with a dangerous vendetta, while her presumed-dead twin, Celeste, reemerges with a deadly mission of her own.

Caught between a king’s unwavering protection and a storm of old betrayals, Hailey must decide: fight for the love that could save her, or risk losing everything to the ghosts of her past.

The Lycan's Forsaken Mate

The woods were eerily silent, the air thick with an ominous stillness. My heartbeat pounded in my ears as I moved through the dense trees, my senses on high alert. Every step felt like a betrayal, a reminder that I was here because of my own failures. The war, the growing unrest—it all traced back to me.

I clenched my fists, trying to push down the gnawing guilt that threatened to consume me. I had come here to find the Guardian, the only being who might have the answers I needed to stop this conflict before it spiraled beyond control. If the Guardian truly existed, he could guide me, tell me how to end this bloodshed before it reached the innocent.

The moonlight barely pierced through the thick canopy, casting long, jagged shadows around me. My breath came in uneven gasps, but I forced myself to move forward. I couldn't afford fear. Not now. Not when everything was falling apart.
