That Summer Dessen Novel Novels & Stories

I gave everything to save my fated mate, Alpha Austen. I even lost our pups. Twice. But he gave all the credit to his adoptive sister, Seraphina. He called me weak. Useless. He always chose her tears over my scars. He even stood by as her poison shattered my wolf spirit. As I lay dying, I watched him hold my killer and whisper, “I know it wasn’t your fault. This was her fate.” Then I opened my eyes. And I was back. Back before it all went wrong. This time, I’m done explaining. Done sacrificing. Right in front of him, I disguised a potion that would sever our mate bond as a "blessing elixir" and held it to his lips. “My love,” I said, “drink this. It’ll help you comfort your poor little sister.” He drank it without a second thought. In thirty days, under the Blood Moon, our mate bond will be severed for good. But only when I was truly gone did he finally regret it. He knelt before me, again and again, calling himself my fated mate. Begging me to take him back.

Ever since her nonbiological Mom died, she loathed and blamed herself for that. Avery Maureen Del Hera escaped home when she thought her father whom she grew up with wanted her to go to States, and even be with her biological parents, without him fighting for her. Hence, that's the bare part of the story. When she escaped home, she found a place . . . with the help of her own fate. A zone-like place, literally, with its wide and grandeur sceneries, isolated from the world. It's the Zone of Yavanna, or how the Zoners called it as Forest Survival. It definitely comes with names. Yet she eventually held one while being in there, a codename- a new identity: Cosimia. Her tale begins right at that moment. A journey of being the real sleeping beauty, for she's never awakened with the truth that she's been lost all along. She may have sought where she belongs, but did she see where it will lead her? In this forest that bargains life, away from the cruelty of death, one will strive for the betterment of herself, to think of what will become of her. Here's the thing, she's never a Del Hera, yes, but did she know, too, she's never Avery Maureen?

She was never supposed to exist. He was never supposed to want her. Nyx has spent her entire life hiding what she is. In a world ruled by werewolf packs, she is the one thing every Alpha, every warrior, every wolf alive has been trained to kill on sight: a Skinwalker. Born with the ancient curse to steal the form, scent, and memories of anyone she touches, Nyx has survived by being invisible. No pack. No name. No trace. When the feared Alpha of the Obsidian Throne, Caelan Voss, demands a bride from the weakest pack in the territory to seal a blood treaty, the elders don’t hesitate. They choose their most disposable member—the orphan girl no one would miss. Nyx is dragged to the altar expecting death. Instead, something impossible happens. The mating bond ignites—not the ordinary wolf bond, but something older, something even the Moon Goddess cannot control. A blood tether. It means Caelan feels everything she feels. Every fear. Every lie. Every surge of heat. And Nyx? She accidentally absorbs a piece of his wolf during the bonding kiss. Now she can shift—but into his wolf form. A massive black wolf with silver eyes that every pack member recognizes as their Alpha. The wrong bride. The wrong species. The wrong vow. But the Moon didn’t make a mistake. She made a weapon. When the truth about what Nyx is comes out, will the bond that was never supposed to exist be the thing that saves them both—or the thing that destroys everything?
