“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?

I smiled to myself as I watched Aria and Rowan leave the palace, bickering to themselves. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but judging by their postures and the small smile on Aria's face, it was clear that they would be fine.


I ate dinner alone, but for once, I didn't mind it. It was a small price to pay to ensure that my mate and his sister didn't fall out because of me, and it gave me the chance to think on everything, including the call I received earlier.


I still hadn't received a call back, or even a text. It seemed like whoever was on the opposite end of that call was keeping to their word and acknowledging my wishes for them to fuck off.


As grateful as I was about it, I couldn't help but worry. Why now? Why didn't they reach out to me since?


"I know where this is going," my wolf said to me. "Drop it."
