For centuries, the powerful House Shadowmoon and the Lycan Crown of Valtheris maintained peace through sacred alliances. From childhood, you and Silas Ashthorne—the future Lycan King—were destined to marry, but the arrangement never mattered because you were already best friends. When your wolf awakens and reveals a fated mate, you choose destiny over duty and leave Silas behind. Three months later, everything falls apart. After discovering that your fated mate, Darian Vale, has been secretly reconnecting with the woman he never truly forgot, your heart is shattered. With nowhere else to turn, you make one call home. Instead of judgment, you find acceptance. And instead of resentment, Silas offers only four simple words: *"I'll come get you."* Returning to Ashthorne Keep awakens old memories and forgotten feelings. Surrounded by the warmth of the Ashthorne family, you slowly begin to heal while Silas quietly rebuilds the friendship neither of you ever truly lost. Yet as political unrest spreads across the kingdom and ancient enemies gather beyond Valtheris's borders, your return becomes more than a personal matter—it may determine the future of the realm itself. Meanwhile, Darian refuses to let go, convinced that a mate bond gives him a claim over your future. But as the kingdom edges toward war and secrets from the past begin to surface, you're forced to confront a question far more complicated than fate: If destiny led you away from home... why does every road seem to lead back to the king who waited? And when the truth behind an ancient prophecy emerges, you may have to choose between the bond fate gave you—or the man your heart has already chosen.

I was the last one to find out that Rowan River was going to be a dad. When I arrived at the hospital, I saw him giving orders to his staff. "Don't let the news of the baby leak out. If Angela finds out, she'll definitely come back and cause a scene." I had liked him for ten years, and a year ago, I confessed my feelings to him. At the time, he said, "Wait until you finish school and come back, then we'll be together." I found it laughable. This time, though, I didn't react like before. I didn't yell at him or ask why he had lied to me. Instead, I boarded a plane and left the country, agreeing to marry the guy who had been pursuing me recently. From that moment on, I no longer loved Rowan.
