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 stood there, just outside his door, my hand hovering near the wood as I wrestled with what to do next since he still wasn't opening.


　　I didn't want to believe it what Ava said that he was seriously craving me.


　　Still, I stayed, hoping Nathan would open the door. Not because of Ava's voice in my head, but because I was worried.


　　He hadn't looked well at dinner, and now, he just didn't want to open.


　　I bit my lip and sighed, deciding to call his name one more time. Just one last time.


　　And if he didn't respond, I'd leave and go back to my room. I told myself that, even as my heart pounded louder with every seconds that ticked.


　　"Nathan," I called softly for the last time.


　　The soft click of the doorknob turning.


　　My breath caught in my throat, and my heart started beating fast as the door creaked open.


　　And there he was, standing before me.


　　His dark eyes just stopped on mine, and it made me freeze.
