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

　　Never in my life had I been insulted like that before.


　　The moment those nasty words flew out of his mouth, my hand flew on its own, striking his face before I even realized what I'd done.


　　I stormed out of the casino without looking back. I couldn't bear to see his face—couldn't stand the sight of those eyes that once made me feel whole but now only cut me to pieces over and over and over again.


　　What was I even thinking? Why did I go after him? Why did I keep letting him hurt me over and over again?


　　His words kept on ringing in my ears as I walked. "Using me to satisfy his desires."


　　I mimicked his voice bitterly, my lips curling in disgust.


　　How dare he? How dare he compare me to those Omegas I saw in there?


　　Women with empty eyes and forced smiles, clinging to scraps of affection because they had no other choice.
