After five years of devotion, Deanna discovers her Alpha fiancé will never choose her when he abandons her during a kidnapping to protect his dying first love. Heartbroken, she escapes and finds salvation in Luis Eaton, the powerful Alpha who claims her as his destined mate. Now her former love must face the woman he lost forever.
Meanwhile, Kathryn lounged in her chair, sipping her drink with this calm, judgmental stare – like she was watching a train wreck she’d seen coming a mile away. After a long silence, she abruptly placed her cup down with a sharp clink. “Deanna, what were you thinking? I tried to discuss the bond, and you…
I tried to grab it. Yet, he simply raised his hand higher, keeping it out of reach. He was six feet three tall, whereas I was only five feet five tall. I stretched onto my toes, fingers swiping at nothing but air. After the day I’d had, my patience was running on fumes. “Seriously?” I…
That smile stole my words. Wait… what? How did I suddenly turn into some little menace? I was just about to snap back when the night sky suddenly lit up with brilliant meteors streaking across the darkness, each leaving a dazzling trail behind. I tilted my head up, eyes sparkling with wonder. “Meteors! Luis, look!…
“Hello?” Her sweet voice came through the line. Jake stopped drinking, his glass suspended in the air as he looked up at me. I cleared my throat. “Deanna, uh… Jake’s had a bit too much to drink. Can you come pick him up?” Silence on the other end. After a long pause, she finally spoke.…

Luis leaned back, completely unfazed. “And why would I?” Thank goodness I came prepared. I never officially worked for the company, but I had my own people inside. I pulled a folder from my bag and handed it to him – our project proposal. Deanna put the whole thing together. I had someone snag it…
I let out a cold laugh. “So that’s it? I only matter because I’m tied to Jake?” “Dad, I started at the bottom. I clawed my way up to becoming a manager without anyone’s help. I don’t need the Olsendreich Pack’s support. And how many times do I have to say it – I already…
An idea sparked. I crouched a little and reached out gently. “Come here, boy.” The wolfhound paused for a heartbeat… then took off again. It crashed right into me, tongue out, licking my face like we were long-lost friends. I stumbled back a few steps under its weight. This dog was huge. I barely managed…
Her eyes widened. “But that night… you didn’t agree.” “But you still made the wish,” I murmured. Her face turned red on the spot.
