“Let me go Henry,” I said coldly. “I am not yours, not anymore.”
Henry scoffed. “You will always be mine. I was your first mate.”
“And yet you rejected me. I don’t need you anymore, I have-”
“Who do you have, Nyssa? Him?” He laughed humorlessly. “You don’t even know who he is.”
Rowan growled, a low warning sound. “Shut the fuck up!”
“Why?” Henry shot back. “Tell her what you’re hiding, Rowan, let’s see if she still loves you after.”

*********************

Nyssa was once the beloved of the pack—the Beta’s daughter, mated to the Alpha.
But once her parents died, and she was unable to shift, her life began to crumble until she was finally rejected by her mate, Henry.
It was hard enough that he left her for her best friend, but as the Beta’s daughter, she was forced to remain with him until an attack leaves their pack vulnerable and they have to seek help for the lycans.
What was meant to be a diplomatic trip turned into chaos when Nyssa realizes she is mated to Rowan—the lycan king.

Lycans and wolves don’t get along, and there is a lot of history between the three of them.
To Nyssa, the angel she doesn’t know is better than the devil she knows,
But what happens when that angel is just another devil in disguise?
After all, Rowan is hiding some dark secrets of his own, the kind that threatens their already fragile bond.
Would she be able to handle the pressure? Or will she go back to Henry who may have never gotten over her in the first place?

As soon as the words left his mouth, my common sense came flooding back.


He had no intentions of making me his or taking me back to the palace. He had no intentions of trying to work through the mating bond. This was all about proving a point, and I was stupid enough to make it easy for him.


To my surprise, he released me immediately, his eyes coasting over me in worry. "What's wrong?"


"What's wrong is that I was stupid enough to think that you could ever want something serious," I spat. "What is wrong is that I was foolish enough that I thought you'd heard a word of what I said before. I'm not going to be the girl who holds out for you."


He opened his mouth to speak but I was done listening to him.
