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

　　Tired of eating myself up with questions that had no answers because it was obvious Nathan wasn't going to tell me anything that happened for the past seven years.


　　I was tired of crying every time Nathan hurt me — because that's all he'd been doing since he came back after seven long years.


　　There wasn't a single day he didn't cause me pain. It was either the ache in my heart or the tears burning down my cheeks, as if the ones I'd shed for him over the years weren't enough.


　　I mourned him for seven years. Seven. Years.


　　I mourned so deeply that anyone would have thought my life depended on it.


　　I prayed for a miracle the minute I heard he was gone. I pleaded to the moon goddess to bring him back, give him another chance.


　　I begged the moon goddess to make it a lie. My Nathan, the best warrior we had, couldn't be dead. He'd fought battles before — dozens of them. And he never lost. Not one.
