"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

　　It was no news that Evelyn Miller, the only daughter of Alpha Sebastian and heir to the Nightshade Pack, was getting engaged today.


　　Everyone had heard about it. The entire pack was buzzing with excitement.


　　Invitations had been sent far and wide, and people were eager to attend — who wouldn't want to witness such a grand event?


　　I sat alone in my room, staring at the invitation in my hand.


　　I must've read it a hundred times, and yet I couldn't bring myself to let it go.


　　The words blurred before my eyes, as my mind just kept on spinning with thoughts of her.


　　The pain in my chest wouldn't ease, no matter how hard I tried.


　　I stared at the invitation again, my thumb tracing her name.


　　Even after all these years, she never left my thoughts. She haunted my dreams, my waking moments, every breath I took.
