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 even know when the question slipped from my lips. It came out on its own—unfiltered.


　　There was no stopping it, no pulling it back. My emotions were running wild, running way faster than I could control them.


　　If I had known he was coming here I would have just gone to see my father in peace, or better still, turned away the minute he walked into the casino.


　　I didn't even know why Ava pushed me to follow him and why I was so nosy. Not just nosy, but jealous too.


　　Nathan wasn't a casino person. Not the Nathan I knew. Not the Nathan I loved.


　　So why was he here? Was he waiting for Isabella? Or maybe he was here to pick up an omega, someone to satisfy desires I no longer had the right to ask about. But I needed to know. I had to.


　　"Why are you asking?" he suddenly asked me the minute I asked him if he was a regular customer at the casino.
