LOGINBetrayed by those she trusted most, Lora was executed for treason while her mate, Alpha Derrick Stone, stood silent among her accusers. But fate had other plans, she awakens in the body of Nyx, a rogue wolf with a different face and all of Lora's memories searing through her mind. When Derrick captures the mysterious rogue trespassing on his territory, the last thing he expects is to feel it again: that soul-deep pull of the mate bond he thought he'd buried with Lora's death. But this green-eyed stranger is everything his gentle Luna wasn't, fierce, dangerous, rebellious, and hiding secrets that could destroy them both. Lora knows she should run. Instead, she stays close to the man who failed her, hunting for proof of the conspiracy that stole everything while the mate bond tightens like a noose around her heart. Every stolen glance, every moment of forced proximity makes it harder to remember that he chose his pack's lies over her truth. But as she peels back layers of deception, Lora uncovers a horrifying reality: her death was just the beginning. Her rebirth wasn't an accident, someone wanted her alive. And the puppet master who orchestrated her execution, the one who's been whispering poison in Derrick's ear all along, is the last person either of them would suspect. His sister. In a world where ancient magic demands a price for every resurrection, Lora must choose: reveal her identity and risk everything for the mate who already failed her once, or let vengeance consume what's left of her humanity. But her second chance may cost more than just her heart, it may cost her soul.

Dark wood furniture, bookshelves lining the walls, a massive desk covered in pack documents. The only difference was the coldness in the air, like warmth which it once had, had been sucked out of the room completely leaving no trace. I sat in the chair across from his desk, very aware of the two guards standing by the door. Vieve leaned against the wall, her silver eyes never leaving me.Derrick stood by the window, his back to me. Morning light made his black hair shine. I remembered running my fingers through that hair, remembered how soft it felt.Stop it, I told myself. That was before. This is now."You said you wanted to join my pack." His voice was flat, emotionless. "Why?""I told you. I need a home.""There are other packs. Smaller ones. Friendlier ones." He turned around, and those blue eyes pinned me in place. "Why choose the pack with the strictest no-rogue policy in th
CHAPTER TWO: THE BOND THAT SHOULDN'T EXISTNyx POV"What is this?" Derrick's voice was rough, almost angry. His blue eyes locked onto mine, and I could see the confusion and pain swirling in them. "Who are you? Or what are you?"I couldn't speak. The mate bond was overwhelming, pulling at my chest like a rope tied around my heart. Every cell in my body screamed at me to run to him. To touch him. To complete the bond that I'd thought died with Lora.But Lora had died. I watched her die. I *was* her dying."I asked you a question, rogue." Derrick walked down the steps slowly. Each step made my wolf whimper with need. "Your name. Now.""Nyx." My voice came out steadier than I expected. "Nyx Brooks.""Where are you from?""Nowhere. Everywhere." I forced myself to stay still as he circled me like a predator. His scent hit me, pine and rain and something uniquely him. It made my head spin. "I've been traveling for years. No pack. No home.""And you just decided to walk onto my territory?"
CHAPTER ONE: THE EXECUTIONLora/Nyx Pov "Please, Derrick. Look at me. *Look at me!, Why can't you look at me?.*"My voice cracked as I screamed his name, silver chains burning into my wrists like acid. The entire pack surrounded us in a circle, their eyes cold and hateful. But I only cared about one pair of eyes. Blue eyes that used to look at me like I was his whole world, like he could not do anything without me. Now those eyes wouldn't even meet mine headon."Alpha Derrick, the evidence is clear." Vieve's voice was soft, almost sad. She stood beside her brother, her hand on his arm like she was the one comforting him. "I know this is hard. She was your mate. But she betrayed us all, and she has to be punished for her sins.""I didn't!" I lunged forward, but the chains held me back. The wolfsbane they'd injected into my system made everything fuzzy and weak. I couldn't shift. Couldn't mind-link. Couldn't prove my innocence. I was left in a tight spot. "I heard Vieve meeting with
