Marked by the wrong mate.
“Say it,” Kael growled, his hand tightening around her throat—not enough to hurt, just enough to remind her who he was.
“I’m yours,” Maya whispered, trembling.
His lips hovered near hers, breath hot. “Even after I left you to die?”
She swallowed. “Even now.”
He kissed her like a curse—hungry, dangerous, and full of things he’d never say aloud.

Maya never believed in fate—until the night her skin burned with the mark of the most feared Alpha in the realm. Weak, powerless, and exiled for a bond she never asked for, Maya finds herself hunted by the same man fate chose for her: Alpha Kael of Silverclaw. He claims she’s a mistake. A curse.
But Maya is more than just a fragile girl. She’s the second chance of a woman long thought dead.
Kael once loved Andrea, a powerful and noble wolf who descended into madness under a deadly curse. Her death shattered him. But when Maya bears the same mark and stirs the same soul-deep bond, Kael believes it’s the curse reborn—and rejects her violently to protect them all.
Now on the run, Maya is saved by Rowan—Kael’s former Beta and best friend turned outcast. As truths unravel and passions ignite, Maya becomes the center of a dark prophecy that could destroy everything.
But fate doesn’t care who you love. And true mates never stay strangers for long.
