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 couldn't bear to see Evelyn that way.


　　The last time we met, it was at her engagement. I saw how she drank herself into a stupor, her glass never leaving her hand, her eyes locked on Nathan every chance she got.


　　It was her engagement, for God's sake. She should've been celebrating with Victor, laughing, dancing — but all of her focus, all of her heart, was still wrapped around a man who wasn't hers anymore, but was with Isabella.


　　Evelyn wasn't the kind of woman who drank, not before Nathan. But after his supposed death, she turned to alcohol, searching for peace at the bottom of a glass.


　　And when he came back? Oh, it got worse.


　　It tore me up inside to watch her breakdown. Evelyn was my best friend — more like my sister — and I'd been there through all of it.
