The last thing Mara Bennett saw before she died was her mate closing the safe-zone gate in her face.
Ryan had chosen Claire—the woman he had loved before Mara—and left his mate outside to die when the apocalypse turned the world into a nightmare of storms, starvation, and bloodshed. Mara had sacrificed everything for Ryan and his pack. In return, she received betrayal.
Then she wakes up sixty days before the apocalypse.
Twenty-four again, with every memory of her first life intact, Mara refuses to waste her second chance. Before Ryan can destroy her twice, she rejects him, walks away from his pack, and reclaims the wealth and power she once surrendered. While everyone calls her paranoid, Mara secretly prepares for the disasters she knows are coming.
But this time, something inside her has changed.
Her wolf, Raya, awakens an ancient power buried within Mara’s bloodline—a forbidden Royal Wolf ability capable of preserving resources, purifying what is contaminated, and eventually protecting an entire territory.
Then Mara meets Ethan Cole, a powerful Alpha and former military rescue specialist who needs neither her protection nor her resources. He distrusts her secrets, yet becomes the one person capable of standing beside her when the world begins to collapse.
As survival turns strangers into allies and trust slowly becomes something deeper, Mara discovers the apocalypse is changing.
Disasters arrive early. Familiar enemies make unexpected choices. People who should be dead survive.
Someone else is changing the future.
And this time, surviving the apocalypse may be only the beginning.
