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 didn't know what I was thinking, following Nathan here. It was reckless and stupid, and yet, I couldn't stop myself.


　　I kept on saying we were just like magnets. Something just kept on pulling us together each time.


　　I didn't even understand why I kept hurting myself, again and again, chasing a truth that I wasn't sure I wanted to face.


　　Did I need more proof that he didn't want me anymore?


　　Was I hoping to catch him in some act that would finally make me let go?


　　I stood by the entrance, frozen. The lights in the casino were just dancing around and doing their thing.


　　Nathan sat at the bar, drink in hand, looking far too comfortable in a place that didn't suit him.


　　I stole quick glances his way, because I couldn't just look away. I was still waiting patiently to see if anyone would go join him.


　　And why was I torturing myself by watching him?
