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

　　"Something has been uncovered within the pack — the casino."


　　I read it out loud and sighed. The message detailed a troubling report: several missing omegas had last been seen at the pack's casino.


　　"Finally," I muttered to myself, hoping this would lead us somewhere real.


　　Since my return, we'd chased one lead after another, only for each to hit a dead end.


　　It was almost like someone was watching us, waiting to cover their tracks before we could get too close.


　　Each time we thought we had something, something reasonable, it slipped through our fingers like smoke.


　　It was exhausting. Really exhausting and it had been happening over and over again.


　　But giving up? That wasn't an option.


　　I rubbed the back of my neck and headed straight to the shower. My whole body ached and I still had Evelyn's sweat all over my body.
