Arden Wilder

"He's our mate."
The world around me seemed empty at that moment. I froze. The way he walked, his posture—there was something hauntingly familiar about him.
I stood without thinking as I tried to catch up with him. The closer I got to him, the more the pull increased. It was like he was magneting me. 
And then I saw his face. I was instantly knocked out of breath.
"Nathan………"
Evelyn Miller, the next Alpha of the Nightshade Pack, has spent years believing the love of her life, Nathan, died in a war. To move forward, she agrees to an arranged marriage, accepting her duty over her heart.
But something happened one fateful day after seven years, her wolf senses something impossible—her fated mate is near. And to her shock, it's Nathan. Alive.
Yet Nathan doesn't recognize her as his mate. He's changed, hardened by betrayal and loss. Unknown to them, lies and deception tore them apart seven years ago. Now, with Evelyn bound to another and Nathan consumed by hatred, the truth is buried deep.
Can they unravel the past before it's too late? Or has fate already sealed their tragic ending?

Fated To Love Again

　　I gulped hard, as my throat was suddenly dry the minute I sighted him.


　　The room wasn't vacant like I thought it would be. He stood there, leaning slightly against the window with his hands shoved into his pockets.


　　He was just a few feet away from me. All of a sudden, he turned to face me.


　　I froze, staring at him. And he stared right back.


　　For what felt like minutes, neither of us spoke. We didn't say anything. Not a single word passed between us.


　　It felt like time had stopped, and the only sound I could hear was the continuous beating of my heart.


　　It was racing, thumping in my chest as if it wanted to break free.


　　The effects of the alcohol I'd consumed earlier disappeared in an instant, wiped away by the mere presence of him.


　　Funny how quickly that happened, how his presence could make everything else vanish.


　　Our hearts seemed to be saying what our lips refused to.
