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 paused at Sophia's offer, I was just quiet. All I wanted initially was just to go home and hug my bed so tightly, but honestly, I think I did need that drink she was offering.


　　I remembered how Nathan had snatched the glass out of my hand at the casino.


　　At the time, I thought it was sweet, romantic and protective even. Like he couldn't bear the thought of me drinking something in a place like that.


　　For a single moment, I let myself believe he cared. I thought he did.


　　But now, as I remembered, I only got angry the more. Foolish, Evelyn. Just foolish. That was what I was.


　　I shook the thought off and focused on the call.


　　"Evelyn? Are you still there?" Sophia's voice pulled me back to reality.


　　"Yes, yes… I'm here," I answered quickly, straightening my posture. "I'm in."


　　"You know our regular spot, right? I'll meet you there," she replied the hung up.
