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 just had to stop the maid from going further with me.


　　I couldn't take it anymore. The heat flowing through my body was too strong, too consuming, and it wasn't for her.


　　Not the maid standing there, speaking words I barely heard, doing things that didn't move me in the slightest.


　　No, it wasn't for her—it had never been. She wasn't the one making me feel uneasy.


　　Even as she tried to inch closer, with her seductive looks and moves. I didn't want it, all I could think about was Evelyn.


　　It was Evelyn who clouded my thoughts, Evelyn who made my blood burn and my wolf restless.


　　Every step I took, from the dining room to the solitude of this room, she was there in my mind.


　　She was the only one I could see, she was irresistible.


　　I clenched my fists, trying to keep control as the maid moved closer again. Her scent wasn't what I craved; her presence wasn't what I needed.
