Winter Trees

Winter break was supposed to be quiet. A chance to recover from the battles that fractured Obscura Arcanum’s fall semester. Instead, Iris Wren comes home to find her mother soul-bound to a Stormhollow werewolf, and her calm, structured life about to collide with something wild. Something loud. Something named Kaia. The daughters of fated mates, they’re now step-sisters by magic and mistake. Neither asked for this. Both are fighting it. But when the spring semester brings whispers of corrupted packs, broken sigils, and shadowed disappearances across Ember Hills, their unwilling bond may be the only thing strong enough to survive what's coming. Because bloodlines make enemies. But found family? That makes warriors.

I knew my husband, Josh Perkins, had faked his death and taken on his younger twin brother's identity—but I never said a word. Instead, I went straight to the commander of the military district and filed an official report of my husband's death, requesting his name be permanently removed from the service rolls. In my last life, my brother-in-law died in an accident. Josh gave up his rank as regimental commander, abandoned his own name, and stepped into his brother's shoes—all to spare his fragile sister-in-law from becoming a widow. Back then, I recognized him immediately. I confronted him and demanded to know why he was pretending to be a dead man. But Josh just looked through me, cold as a winter morning. "Riley, I know you're grieving Josh. But I'm not him. Don't mistake me for my brother." He shielded that delicate sister-in-law of his behind him, then shoved me into the icy river and warned me not to harbor delusions. Later, our five-year-old daughter cried, asking why her daddy didn't want her anymore. For that, she was dragged to the cowshed for "reflection"—left there, starving, for three days and nights. My mother-in-law called me a curse, a jinx who'd killed her son, and threw my daughter and me out with nothing but the clothes on our backs. Josh made sure everyone knew I'd "gone mad"—that I was lusting after my brother-in-law before my husband was even cold in the ground. The whole town turned their backs on us. That last winter, I wandered the streets with my girl, dazed and numb, until the cold finally took us both. But when I opened my eyes again, I was back. Back to the very day Josh buried his old life and stole his brother's.

Hanna Winter beschuldigte mich, ihr Wolfsgift eingeflößt zu haben, sodass sie beinahe erstickt wäre und ihre Wölfin schwer verletzt wurde – sie war dem Tod nahe. Mein Gefährte, Alpha Leon Richter, und meine beiden Kinder wollten mir eine Lektion erteilen und sperrten meine Omega-Schwester Lena Sommer in einen riesigen Silberkäfig, um sie mit Wolfsgift zu übergießen. Ich flehte und kämpfte, doch ich konnte nichts davon verhindern. Später starb meine Schwester, und mit ihr starb auch meine Liebe zu ihnen.

In the remote town of Black Hollow, death wears the mask of wolves—but the truth is far darker. Dr. Evelyn Hart, a brilliant but skeptical forensic pathologist, is sent from the city to investigate a string of brutal killings. The townsfolk whisper about curses, ancient legends, and a beast that stalks beneath the full moon. Evelyn trusts science, not superstition. But when claw marks gouge trees higher than any wolf could reach, when the dead are crushed with impossible force, and when glowing eyes stare back at her in the forest, her certainty begins to fracture. Drawn into a chilling web of blood, folklore, and fate, Evelyn discovers she bears a mark older than the town itself—a mark that ties her to a man both dangerous and magnetic, a man who claims she was destined to be his mate. As her body betrays her and the wolf within claws free, she must choose: cling to the human life she built… or embrace the monstrous destiny that waits under the moon.

"It was a cold winter's night as I walked home. A simple night, until it crossed my path: a wolf almost ten feet tall, with huge teeth and fur as black as the darkness. I never believed in fairy tales, but this was no hallucination, not even a misunderstanding. It was something I couldn't explain. And even less so when this creature turned out to be more like the man I loved than I could possibly realize. At that moment, I discovered that even in the most unlikely situations, we can feel pleasure. Even though he was a wolf, I could feel that my feelings wouldn't change, even if it meant my life would be turned upside down in a new world, involved in a war, and with creatures I didn't know existed."
