Astrid dedicated her life to Leon, believing in their love, their pack, their future. But the devastating return of her sister, Clara, as Leon's destined mate, shatters Astrid's carefully constructed world. Betrayal cuts deep, leaving Astrid stripped bare and forced to confront a horrifying truth: her loyalty was misplaced, her sacrifices meaningless.

Just as despair threatens to consume her, Kaeleen, a magnetic and rebellious Alpha from a rival pack, storms into her life, igniting a forbidden passion that challenges everything she thought she knew. He offers her a chance to escape the suffocating control of her past, to claim a life of her own, a life where she is the priority.

But Leon won't relinquish his prize so easily. Obsessed and dangerously possessive, he unleashes a storm of violence and manipulation, determined to drag Astrid back into the darkness. Now, Astrid must make a desperate choice: succumb to the chains of her past, or embrace the dangerous allure of a love that could save her... or ignite a war that will consume them all.

She was a real artist, a famous one. Someone who I never even thought I'd ever meet in my life and she was asking for my sketchbook. My simple pencil sketches felt lame and clumsy in comparison to the works she had done. I had no idea Christian was even her son. Maybe I wouldn't have shown him my drawings if I had known…oh who am I lying to? I would have still shown him the drawings because he is cute.


She took the sketchbook from me, gently. Her eyes scan the pages with a focused intensity. She flipped through the drawings of the willow tree, the sketches of the children and finally the last one. Since this was a new sketchbook, there were only three drawings in it. She paused on the drawing of Christian and the twins, a soft smile playing on her lips.
