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

　　She was the last person I expected to see in a place like this. Evelyn.


　　The moment she walked into the casino, everything else blurred. My heart, which had been beating steadily all night, seemed to stop for a minute, then picked up in a wild, erratic rhythm.


　　Even if the room had been completely dark, even if I had been blindfolded, I would've known it was her.


　　And not just her face. I knew every curve, every inch of her body. I knew how her lips quivered when she was nervous, how her shoulders would get suddenly tensed when she was uncomfortable.


　　She stood near the entrance, her wide eyes scanning the room, looking so out of place. So innocent.


　　I could see the discomfort in her stance from across the room.


　　The way her fingers fidgeted at her side, the slight twitch of her lips as if she were fighting the urge to scowl.


　　She looked irritated, disgusted even. And I couldn't blame her.
