Even a silenced wolf can still feel the call of fate.Rayne Shadow once believed she had escaped the supernatural world for good. After a passionate, masked encounter with a stranger just days before her eighteenth birthday, Rayne fled; unaware she had just slept with her fated mate. Three days later, her family was slaughtered, and her grief drove her to do the unthinkable; she severed the bond with her wolf, Midnight, choosing to bury her past and live a human life.Now, years later, Rayne lives as Raven Bianchi; wife, mother, and star performer at the edge of the Dark Moon Forest. Her twin sons have no idea they’re wolves. Her husband doesn’t know he isn’t their father. And Rayne? She doesn’t know that fate isn’t finished with her yet.When a powerful Alpha named River walks into her restaurant, her carefully built world begins to crumble. He can’t fully smell her... but something about her scent; masked, familiar, wrong, drives his wolf mad with longing.As the past stirs and Midnight begins to wake, Rayne is faced with an impossible choice; continue living a lie to protect her sons or face the mate she abandoned, the truth she buried, and the wolf she left to sleep.But fate doesn’t forget.And neither does a mate.
