I never thought my fated mate would be my biggest rival. "I reject you as the Luna of this pack and my mate." His voice was sharp and final—delivered with merciless indifference. The bond snapped, an agony unlike any other ripping across my soul. The strong and cold Alpha Darius Nightbane, the man the Moon Goddess had meant for me, had thrown me away like I was nothing. But destiny is a nasty mistress. I barely passed through his rejection. Broken and deprived of my position in the pack, I vanished into the shadows only to resurface, deadlier, stronger, and with a secret no one else saw approaching. I never was any typical wolf. I possessed something more. forbidden something. Darius believed he had banished me from his life. He said I was weak. But today I am the one obstructing him; the tables have changed. Years later, the same Alpha who turned away from me stands before me, his icy calm broken and desperation seeping from his eyes. “I was wrong. I need you, Seraphina. I can’t live without you.” I should loathe him. I should cut him up for what he's done to me. But his touch still sets my blood on fire. His fragrance calls to the darkness in me. Can I resist the man who shattered me? Or will I fall back into the arms of my worst mistake? Especially now, as a conflict is escalating and a greater evil lurks in the background. Darius is not the only monster living in Rivendell. Some horror stories do not end with rejection.
