The Next Step Book Novels & Stories

Aria Lockwood has already died once. In her first life, she was nothing more than the wolfless stepdaughter of the Alpha—weak, unwanted, and hopelessly in love with the wrong man. When the arrogant hockey star Tristan Lockwood promised to finally accept her as his mate, Aria believed him with her whole heart. All he asked for in return… was a small favor. Poison his twin brother. Trenton Lockwood—the golden heir of the pack, the captain of the Winterridge Ice Wolves, the man admired by everyone. Blinded by love, Aria obeyed. Trenton died on the ice in front of thousands. And that same night, Tristan poisoned her too. As she lay dying on the locker room floor, Aria learned the cruelest truth of all. The man she murdered… had been her real mate. But the Moon Goddess gave her one more chance. Reborn one hour before the match that destroyed everything, Aria refuses to repeat her mistake. This time she will protect the man she once killed—even if it means chasing the cold, distant Trenton Lockwood across campus while he tries desperately to push her away. Because Trenton remembers something too. A nightmare where she murdered him. Now Aria must survive a dangerous game of deception, revenge, and forbidden desire between step-siblings while her jealous ex-lover plots their destruction. But the closer she gets to Trenton, the more the mate bond burns between them. And when passion finally explodes between the Alpha heir and the girl who once killed him, the consequences will shake the entire pack. Because some loves are dangerous. Some bonds are forbidden. And some second chances come with a price written in blood.
