My fiancee, Josephine Carter, tells me she is too busy with work to go home with me for Christmas just yesterday. But today, I find out that she has secretly booked a flight ticket to my hometown. I am delighted. Josephine has always been good at creating surprises during our relationship. I do not expect her to still be doing this now that we have practically been dating for years already.

I close my eyes for a moment and send her one last message, "I have transferred back the 500 thousand dollars you asked me to manage for our wedding. It's over between us."

It was the third anniversary of my registration of a mate bond with Xavier Ashford, the alpha of Shadowcrest Pack. My gift to him was a positive pregnancy test, but his gift to me was a contract terminating our bond as mates. I froze, too distraught to reach out and take it from him. Xavier cleared his throat awkwardly. "A wolf tricked Talia into getting pregnant. A pup born out of mate bond can't get the rights to live in the pack. My plan is to terminate our bond as mates and become mates with Talia for the time being so that her pup can have a legal identity. After she gives birth to her pup, then you and I can become mates again. How does that sound?" He passed me a bond termination contract. It had clearly been prepared a long time ago. He noticed my hesitation and explained gently, "You're my one true love. I'm only helping her as a friend. Even after we split up, I can guarantee that you won't be mistreated." I looked up at him with a smile and stayed silent. Then, I reached into my pocket and felt the pregnancy test under my fingers. The two red lines on the screen were as clear as day.

For eighteen years, I believed I was human, the weak, ordinary girl in a house full of powerful wolves. Then my heat arrived. Not a normal heat. Something ancient. Something that shattered every lie my parents ever told me. I'm not human. I'm not just a wolf. I'm the last alpha-witch hybrid, a creature so dangerous that my existence was erased from history. And the moment my power awakened, three stepbrothers who barely looked at me for five years suddenly couldn't stay away: Ronan, the cold heir who will lose everything if he claims me. Maddox, the violent enforcer whose wolf recognizes me as his. Alec, the quiet genius whose control shatters every time I'm near. A triad bond. Forbidden. Punishable by death. My wolf doesn't care about laws. She marked one of them without asking. And now a rival Alpha is coming for me, one who believes I belong to him according to an ancient prophecy. Three stepbrothers. One impossible bond. A prophecy that will destroy us all. Fate doesn't ask permission. And when the next heat hits, none of us will be strong enough to resist.
