Bistas_She

Cassia Phoenix always dreamed her mate would be her refuge—the one to give her the home she never had, the life she craved. But fate is cruel, and dreams are lies wrapped in pretty promises.

When she finally finds her mate, it’s not salvation. It’s a sentence. 

He’s already claimed by another, and she's nothing more than a mistake he’s determined to erase. Every day, he reminds her that she is unwanted. Unworthy. Unloved.

To Winter Lake, a place that shouldn’t exist, where the rules of the world don’t apply. There, she might find a sliver of peace—if her mate doesn’t hunt her down, and if the powerful alpha of this forbidden pack doesn’t discover the truth about who she is. About what she is.

Staying is dangerous. Impossible, even. But then there’s him. The brown-eyed shifter who saves her from the storm, whose strength and promises make her question everything she thought she knew about fate, loyalty, and belonging. He makes her want to stay. To fight. To believe.

But when she’s spent her entire life running, how does she stop?

Why did it have to be her I hit and not my father, who was the one who actually deserved it?

"What do you know about your mother?" Minerva asks.

I tear my gaze from the vegetables growing in the backyard to blink at her. "My mother?"

Looking as serene as always, this time in a coral floral dress that I've never seen her wearing before, she nods. "Your gift is—"

Her lips curve in a smile, even as she shakes her head. "Don't be silly, child. No. What you lack is control, and any gift can be dangerous without control."
