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 sat on the edge of the bed, staring at nothing in particular, my mind was just in a mess that I couldn't get it out of.


　　The room still smelled of him—of us—and I hated that it made my stomach twist in ways I didn't want to admit.


　　What had happened last night? That question couldn't leave my head. Did it mean something to him? Or was it just another fun round for him?


　　Deep down, I wasn't sure if I wanted to know the truth. Because knowing would hurt—no, it would destroy me.


　　I felt used, discarded, as though I were nothing more than a passing indulgence for Nathan and this wasn't the first time.


　　Only that this time, it wasn't just anywhere. This time, he'd done it under my roof.


　　I stood up from the bed as I recalled that the door wasn't locked and anyone could walk in. Most especially my father.


　　I quickly walked up to the door and locked it instantly. I didn't want anyone to know I spent the night there.
