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 froze. Yes, I froze and suddenly became cold and had wet feet all of a sudden.


　　For a moment, I couldn't move, couldn't breathe. The sight of Nathan's kiss was still on my lips, was like a dream I wasn't ready to wake from.


　　My heart was pounding so fast I thought it might burst out of my chest. I thought it was going to explode.


　　Nathan kissed me. Nathan actually kissed me and not just the fact that he kissed me, but the fact that it was publicly.


　　Right here in the middle of a casino—a place where secrets don't last till morning.


　　And it wasn't like before, when we used to hide in the shadows, stealing kisses where no one could find us.


　　This was bold. Reckless. And I had no idea what actually got over him.


　　My head was spinning, and my mind raced with several questions I didn't have answers to.


　　What was he doing here in the first place? Why would he kiss me now, after everything? Was it out of love, or was it something else?
