Falling for my mate's killer
He hates her so much. He wants her to pay, but why kill her when he can play the long game? He is the predator, and she's the prey.
Or, so he thought.

Damian meticulously leads a double life— an affluent billionaire on the outside and a well-aged lycan on the inside. He has been in concealment since the treacherous murder of his Luna years ago. Damian remains haunted by the depth of the betrayal.
His pent-up rage is reignited when Ishtar comes along, an ordinary human who bears the face of the traitor who murdered his mate. A doppelganger of the lycan who orchestrated the ruin of his pack in the past.
Not only is he surprised by Ishtar's audacity, but his inactive wolf rages for the first time in a long while, claiming she is the answer.
The little human crashes down his high walls, torturing him with memories of the past. Just as he suspects, Ishtar is connected to his past and is the key to relieving him of the excruciating weight he bears.
There's a tinge of passion beneath the hard-surfaced hate, and it intensifies the more he tries to quench the fire.

Humans are not built to last, but there's more to this one.
What happens when Ishtar isn't the only doppelganger around? Who stops the past from burning into existence again?
