Raine Thornfield was never the chosen one—not the beloved daughter, not the golden twin, not even the rightful mate. At sixteen, she should have found joy in her first shift and the bond that should have been hers. Instead, it was stolen. Her wolf silenced. Her heart shattered. And no one—not even her family—looked back when she ran. Two years later, hidden in the human world and clinging to a fragile peace, Ray is learning how to live without the life that was meant for her. But peace doesn’t last. When her past—wrapped in a familiar face and an unwanted bond—comes crashing through the bookstore door, Ray is forced to return to the pack she fled. The Alpha who hurt her wants answers. Her sister is dying. And the only person she dares to trust is the boy she once called brother.
