He was my mate. My Alpha. And the man I thought I would spend the rest of my life with. Then, in front of the entire pack, Adrian Blackthorn looked me in the eyes and rejected me. “I, Adrian Blackthorn, reject you as my mate.” I still remember the way everyone stared at me. The whispers. The pity. And the way my heart broke when he walked away without looking back. So I left. I disappeared from the pack and tried to forget the man who had once meant everything to me. Three years later, I came back. But I wasn't the same girl anymore. I had learned the truth about myself—and about the strange power that had been sleeping inside me all along. Now Adrian wants me back. The same man who once told me I wasn't good enough is suddenly standing in front of me, asking me to come home. “I made a mistake, Aria. Please give me another chance.” But he doesn't understand. I didn't come back for him. And this time, I'm not the one begging to be loved. Because there are secrets hidden behind my rejection. Secrets that could change everything. And when the truth finally comes out, Adrian may realize that rejecting me was the biggest mistake of his life.
