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

　　Seven years ago, I received an order from Alpha Sebastian Miller through Caleb to lead the warriors into battle.


　　It was supposed to be like every other fight—a challenge, yes, but one we would overcome.


　　I never doubted that. Victory had always been my thing on the battlefield, and I was confident this time would be no different.


　　I was the best at what I did, and I wore that truth like armor. With me on the field, we never lost. Not once.


　　So, as I prepared to leave, I felt no fear for myself.


　　My only concern was for Evelyn, the love of my life. Leaving her was always the hardest part.


　　Every time I walked away from her, a piece of me stayed behind. But I always came back. Always.


　　I kept every promise I ever made to her. Not one was broken, not even the smallest.


　　And this time, I'd made a silent promise to myself: I wouldn't just return victorious. I'd come back with a ring, with a future.


　　I'd ask Evelyn to be my mate, my forever.
