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

　　Sophia and I just stood there, staring at Caleb as he lay slumped over the table, looking completely helpless.


　　"Oh God," I blurted out, the words slipping from my lips before I could stop them. "What if he doesn't wake up?"


　　Sophia shot me a look, trying to reassure me so wouldn't worry, though I could tell she wasn't entirely certain herself.


　　"He just had too much to drink. He'll be fine."


　　She glanced at him again, her brows knitting together.


　　"But I can't help but wonder why he drank so much when he's clearly a lightweight."


　　I nodded slowly, thinking back to the way he had downed that glass of alcohol like it was water. "Did you notice how nervous he was? How anxious he'd been acting?" I asked.


　　Sophia sighed, brushing her hair out of her face. "Definitely. Even when I approached him, he couldn't look me straight in the eyes. He just kept glancing around, like he was searching for an escape."
