During the party organized in his honor, he openly states his intention to find me. "I owe my success to the guidance Caleb Jennings has provided me all along. I hope everyone can help me find him and bring him back into the police force." Scoffing, I choose to ignore that. … In my previous life, I was the celebrated captain of a criminal investigation team. Yet, whenever I uncovered a clue, Nathan, a rookie in the city police department, would announce it first, beating me to it.

I died for my mate. When an assassin's wolfbane dagger was aimed at Alpha Damian Blackwood, I threw myself in front of it without hesitation, believing my sacrifice would finally prove the depth of my love.

My death was never an accident, and the past holds dangerous mysteries capable of destroying the entire pack. This time, I am no longer the girl willing to die for love. But rewriting destiny may awaken forces far deadlier than the future I escaped.
