Trust, however, doesn’t come easily when old grudges run deep and the line between ally and enemy blurs. As danger looms, Raina and Liam must set aside their differences and work together to face a deadly threat that could destroy not just Windshade Hollow, but both their worlds.

But everything changed when she welcomed a mysterious new wolf into her ranks, unaware he was destined to be her fated mate. Under her guidance, he rose in power, and she gave him everything, her trust, her knowledge, and ultimately, her heart. When he voiced his desire to lead, the sacred bond they shared compelled her to step aside, crowning him Alpha. At first, they ruled together in harmony. But his hunger for power soon eclipsed the love they once shared. He brought another she-wolf into his den and branded her as his own, betraying the very bond that had once united them. Heartbroken and cast aside, Zeina watched as the wolves she had once led with pride turned their backs on her, forgetting the leader she had once been. Now, consumed by a storm of grief and vengeance, she seeks to reclaim her place, and shatter the mate bond that ties her to the traitor who destroyed her. But such a bond is not easily broken. Legends say it's impossible. Still, Zeina is willing to risk everything, even her soul, to be free. Her only hope lies with a rogue Alpha, a feared monster living beyond the borders of the West. Desperate, she seeks his aid... only to find that the tales may be not untrue. He's dangerous, yes but also clever, powerful, and bound by a code of his own. And he agrees to help her, but not for free. The price he demands is steep, and it forces Zeina to question everything she thought she knew about loyalty, power, and love.

While the kidnappers stopped for a meal, I called Alex five times calmly. He was angry when he finally answered. "Susan was just rescued from the kidnappers, and she needs me. If you want me to come home, stop using your own kidnapping as some excuse to compete for attention. It is pathetic!"
