Beta Elias gave everything to his pack—his loyalty, his strength, and his heart. But when his fated mate, Alpha Kael, accused him of the death of the previous alpha, everything fell out of place. 

He is hunted and at the brink of death, but fate smiles as a deal of survival comes in time. But things are never as they seem. Not when Elias dies and comes back the day of his wedding... indeed, Fate had so much in store for him.

"I won't lose you," Rowan whispered against his skin. "Not to Kael… not to fate."

He bit down on Elias's nipple, and Elias moaned hard.

"You belong to me," he added, then lifted Elias into his arms.

Elias responded simultaneously, wrapping his legs around Rowan's torso. Their eyes, filled with desire, stared down at each other.

Rowan carried Elias to the bed, and as Elias's back touched the soft mattress, Elias did not hold back…

He opened up, welcoming the prince with open arms and legs.

"You have to be strong... you're brave, and it takes those who know you to see the true you," she whispered, then coughed out even more blood.

Kelly shook her head as she pulled her closer.

"Don't do this to me, Lia... you can't leave me," she begged, but the truth hovered in the air like an unwanted pregnancy.
