Astrid dedicated her life to Leon, believing in their love, their pack, their future. But the devastating return of her sister, Clara, as Leon's destined mate, shatters Astrid's carefully constructed world. Betrayal cuts deep, leaving Astrid stripped bare and forced to confront a horrifying truth: her loyalty was misplaced, her sacrifices meaningless.

Just as despair threatens to consume her, Kaeleen, a magnetic and rebellious Alpha from a rival pack, storms into her life, igniting a forbidden passion that challenges everything she thought she knew. He offers her a chance to escape the suffocating control of her past, to claim a life of her own, a life where she is the priority.

But Leon won't relinquish his prize so easily. Obsessed and dangerously possessive, he unleashes a storm of violence and manipulation, determined to drag Astrid back into the darkness. Now, Astrid must make a desperate choice: succumb to the chains of her past, or embrace the dangerous allure of a love that could save her... or ignite a war that will consume them all.

I walked into my home with a resigned sigh. 


"Is everything alright?" Astrid asked me making me jump in shock because I had no idea she was right next to me or even in the living room.


"Yeah..." I started but then thought better of it. There was no need lying to her when I wasn't really okay. Not after what I had just seen in Serena's home. "No, not really." I told her.


"What's the matter?" She asked me with genuine concern on her face.


I walked to a couch and sat on it rubbing my hands down my face. 


"You know I told you I had to go somewhere first before heading into the office?" I asked her.


That brought a smile to her face. "How is she? I did not see her at the welcome party. Rebecca said she had something to do."


But then as the realisation dawned on her, her smile dropped and she stared with a frown.


"Is Serena the reason why you are like this? Is something wrong with her?" She asked me.
