[Book 2 of WEREWOLVES OF THE NORTH]
“Fuc.king hell,” I hear him mutter under his breath.
I swallow hard, my heart pounding with a foolish, desperate hope.
“So, erm… I was thinking, maybe we could… get tea together tomorrow? Or—”
“This was a temporary lapse, Lady Thompson,” he cuts me off in a clipped tone. “There was nothing more to it. I was in a rut. You happened to come close despite my warning, and my wolf took advantage of your lack of sense. Do not mistake a beast’s rut for affection.”
⸻
Elara Thompson has been in love with Darren Iversen for a long time, but the stoic royal Beta has never shown any interest in her or returned her affection.
And then one night, driven mad by a sudden rut, Darren loses control.
For one breathless night, Elara finally gets the man she’s spent months dreaming about.
Then Darren breaks her heart after.
Heartbroken, Elara does the only thing she can: she runs.
Packing up her life in the dead of night, she flees across the sea to the Citadel of Knowledge with her father.
Three years later, circumstances bring her back to the North.
But this time, Elara is different.
She’s stronger. More mature. No longer the awkward, lovesick scholar who desperately waited for him to notice her.
And she has a secret that could change everything.
Darren Iversen has never been a man who gives up easily.
And when the woman he thought he had forgotten walks back into his life, he discovers that some mistakes are much harder to leave in the past.
Especially when his wolf has been waiting for her all along.
He broke her heart once.
This time, she might be the one to break his.
