LOGINThe first time my Alpha mate chose his childhood sweetheart over me, I forgave him. After all, Dylan saved my life seven times. Seven lives saved. Seven chances given. That was the deal I made with myself. Then Dylan skipped our Mate Anniversary to celebrate her birthday. He gave her the moonstone ring I’d carved for him with my own hands, saying she needed it for protection. And when rogues attacked us both, he stepped right past me as I lay wounded and carried her to safety first. I never fought him over any of it. Each time he chose her, I silently crossed off one of the lives I owed him. The pack thought I loved my Alpha so desperately that I would forgive him no matter how many times he put another Omega before me. But I was only waiting until all seven lives I owed him had been repaid. Then one day, he broke the Mate Vow we’d sworn at the Moon Altar for her yet again. “She has no one else,” he told me. “You’re my Luna. You should understand.” And just like that, the last of what I owed him was gone. “That’s seven. We’re done.” I picked up my suitcase and headed for the Nordic Wolf Alliance in herbal medicine. Dylan and I were over, and I would never see him again.

Ariana's POVSnow whipped through the canyon. I stood in the middle of it and saw a familiar figure in the distance.Seventeen-year-old Dylan was carrying the younger me on his back, trudging forward one step at a time.Blood covered his hind leg. Still, he lowered his head toward the girl clinging to him."Don't be afraid. No matter where you are, I'll always come for you."I stood there and understood at once. This was a dream.Then the storm froze. The scene in front of me shattered like glass.The adult Dylan stood on the other side. He was much thinner than I remembered.His face was pale, dark shadows ringed his bloodshot eyes, and even the powerful Alpha presence he once carried had weakened."Ariana." He started toward me.I didn't move."This is your dream.""I know."His voice was hoarse."I found an exiled witch. She gave me a forbidden potion that can send someone into another person's dream."I frowned. I'd heard of this potion. It forced open the lingering traces of a sev
Ariana's POVDuring my first month at the Herbal Institute, I barely left the laboratory.We treated werewolves from packs all over the world.Silver wounds. Wolf poison. Unstable wolves. Patients who had lost the ability to shift properly after the death of a Mate.For the first time, I saw just how badly some wolves suffered after losing their Mate.Some could no longer complete a shift. Others lost control every full moon.A few still needed sedatives to sleep more than a decade after their Mate had died.One day, an older wolf who had lost his Mate twelve years earlier suddenly went feral in the infirmary.It took three healers to restrain him.Once the sedative finally took effect, he slumped against the bed, drenched in sweat."Isn't there anything else?"I didn't answer.According to every medical text we had, there was only one answer.No.I spent the entire night reading his case file.When the chief apothecary came to find me the next morning, my desk was buried beneath pages
Ariana's POVThe witch slid the bowl toward me, and the first thing I smelled was blood."Last chance."She sat across from me in the dim wooden cabin, one weathered hand resting against the rim."Are you certain you want to sever the Mate Bond?"I nodded. "I'm certain."After arriving in the Nordic Wolf Alliance, I hadn't gone straight to the Herbal Institute.At my request, the chief apothecary I'd met two years ago had found this witch for me.She lived at the foot of the mountains and rarely received outsiders.I'd been told she had once devoted herself to studying werewolf bonds. Eventually, several packs had cast her out for practicing forbidden magic.Before I came here, the chief apothecary had asked me once."Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"I'd been sorting herbs at the time. I only shook my head."No."Now the witch was asking the same question, and my answer hadn't changed.She studied me for a long moment, her expression unreadable."A Mate Bond isn't a rope you
