Mag-log inHope’s world shattered in a single moment. Her fated mate, Alpha Derek of the Red Moon Pack, the man she was meant to marry, has gotten her own sister pregnant. In front of both families, she is asked to step aside “for the good of the pack.” No one defended her. No one chose her. So Hope did the unthinkable. She rejected her mate. The pain of breaking the sacred bond nearly destroyed her, but she refused to live where she was unwanted. She became a rogue, surviving alone in the wild with only scars and two loyal friends by her side. Then she rescued a mysterious stranger from a ruthless rogue camp. Hunter is strong, fearless… and has no memory of who he is. From the moment he opens his eyes, he chooses Hope. He protects her. Stands for her. Fights for her. When tragedy forced Hope back to the pack she left behind, old wounds reopened. Derek wants her again. The pack pressures her. Her parents beg her to stay. But Hunter refuses to let anyone hurt her. As sparks ignite between them, Hope begins to believe in second chances. In love that chooses you freely. Yet secrets are rising. A forgotten identity. A powerful necklace. A throne hidden in the shadows. Just as she is ready to start a new life, the truth explodes before everyone— The man she loves is not a rogue. He is the Alpha King. And someone else claims he belongs to her. Now Hope must decide. Will she once again lose everything… Or fight for the love that chose her first?
view moreHOPE'S POV.I did not sleep after remembering everything.Not properly.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him.Hunter.And everything I had lost.The war. The castle. The pain. The love I did not understand until it was gone.But what frightened me most… was not the past.It was the present.Because I had children.Children I had loved.Children I had raised.And now I suddenly knew—they were not just mine.They were ours. I remembered now when I gave birth. I had named the girl Amber after my late sister and the boy Alaric after his father. I had contemplated Hunter at first as that was the name I'd always known him by, but then I had reminded myself that his name wasn't really Hunter. His name was Alaric. And so I named our son after him when he was born.That truth sat inside my chest like something heavy I could not remove.Something that changed everything without asking permission.The morning came too quickly.Light pushed through the curtains of the small house.Too normal, t
HUNTER'S POV.I learned she was alive the same way I learned she was dead.Through a report.Through words on paper that were supposed to decide what I was allowed to feel.But this time—I did not believe them immediately.Because death is final.But Hope… she was never something the world could finish so easily.Not her.Never her.It came during a council meeting.I was not listening.I rarely listened fully anymore.Words passed through me like noise.Orders.Borders.Reinforcements.All of it meaningless.Then Garvin entered.He hesitated at the door.That alone made my attention sharpen.“My King,” he said carefully. “I have something for you, a later from one of the healers that work at the infirmary. He left before he quit his job and left the pack."I didn’t respond.He stepped forward and placed a sealed envelope on the table.I stared at it for a moment.I opened it and at first I frowned at the apology it's started with. One of our healers had requested permission to trans
HOPE'S POV.Time does not heal everything.It only teaches you how to live around the pain.That is what I learned after everything went dark.After the blood.After the running.After I stopped remembering who I used to be.I woke up in a small wooden house.Not a castle.Not a pack house.Just a quiet place with soft light coming through the window.For a long time, I didn’t know my name.That was the first thing that frightened me.Not the emptiness in my mind.But the fact that it felt normal.Like forgetting was something my body had already accepted.A woman entered the room that morning.“Good morning,” she said gently. “You’re awake again.”I looked at her.She smiled softly.“I’m Elise.”The name did not mean anything to me.But her voice felt safe.Behind her stood another woman.“Maya” she added with a small wave. They told me they were my friends.They told me I had been sick.That I had traveled far.That I had almost died.But I was safe now.That was all they said.They
HUNTER'S POV.Weeks have passed and the words still didn't sound any more believable to me than they did when I first heard it. Hope was gone. Dead. My mate. My queen. My love. I hadn't left the room in days. I didn't see any reason to. I struggled finding a reason to keep breathing. A part of me blamed myself for her death. If I hadn't left again, if I was here maybe this could have been avoided. Maybe I could have saved her and she would have still been here with me instead of in the grave. But I wasn't and I would never forgive myself for that.Seraphina came later that night.She entered the room quietly.“My King,” she said softly.I didn’t look at her.“Leave.”A pause.Then she stepped closer anyway.“I am sorry,” she said.That made me laugh once.Empty.Cold.“You are not,” I replied.Silence.She hesitated, then tried again.“I understand you're still grieving and you have every right to but it's been weeks, Alaric. We should discuss stability moving forward—”I finally look
HUNTER'S POV.War changes the body first.Then the mind.Then everything else follows.I learned that within the first weeks after leaving the castle.At first, it was simple exhaustion. Long marches. Blood. Orders that never ended. Nights without sleep.Then it became something heavier.Something
HOPE'S POV.The castle felt different again.Not because anything had changed on the outside.But because I could feel it in the air.Pressure.Silent pressure.Like something was slowly tightening around my chest every day, little by little, without anyone touching me.Hunter was still gone at war
HUNTER'S POV.The castle was too loud for a place that was preparing for war.Not loud in sound.Loud in pressure.In expectation.In silence that felt heavy enough to crush bone.I stood in the war chamber staring at the map spread across the table. Red markings covered the northern borders. Repor
HOPE'S POV.The castle felt different the following morning.Not because anything had changed on the outside. The walls were still the same. The halls were still cold and tall. The servants still moved quickly through the corridors.But something inside it had shifted.I felt it the moment I opened
