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

　　Oh God, I'd fucked things up again. Totally messed it all up, and this time, there was no way to fix it.


　　That wasn't my intention. I swear, it wasn't. But what the hell was I supposed to say to her?


　　"Evelyn, I saw Victor. He's here." The words never made it out. Instead, I kissed her.


　　The moment I spotted Victor passing by with some Omegas, my brain scrambled for a way to keep her from seeing him.


　　So I did the first thing that came to mind—I grabbed her and kissed her like my life depended on it.


　　And for a second, I let myself get lost in it. Lost in her. In the way her lips was very soft on mine. In the way everything around us blurred into nothing.


　　But reality came crashing back the moment I pulled away. The moment she stepped back with that smile—God, that smile. So hopeful. So beautiful.
