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 stood right in front of my father with my mouth wide open. Nothing I said touched him at all and I couldn't believe he still wanted me to go on with the wedding.


　　It was like he hadn't heard a word I said. His face was stone, it didn't move at all. There were no emotions, nothing.


　　"He loves you, Evelyn," he said bluntly. "And that's all that matters. You've just refused to open your eyes to what you have in front of you."


　　"Yes!" He raised his voice. "Open your eyes!"


　　I took a step closer to him with my broken heart. "You're the one who's blind, Father! Blind to all of Victor's pretenses!"


　　"I just told you what he did," I continued. "He tried to force himself on me! He—he isn't who you think he is! But all you care about is your selfish interests, isn't it?"


　　"Selfish?" he snapped. "You dare call me selfish, Evelyn?"
