Slowly rebuilding her pack in no man's land, Norse aims to reclaim her kingdom and avenge her brother when the right time comes. She's aware that she might be fighting a losing battle. However, a glimmer of hope arises when she meets Aldriech, the royal beta of the Kingdom of Florence, her destined mate. Aldriech offers the help she desperately needs, but at a steep cost - her freedom, for her to stay protected under his wings. She learned the hard way in the past that placing trust in a man to take control of her life can result in unforeseen consequences. Will she be able to find it in her heart to trust her mate with her life? Or is she willing to take the chance and sacrifice everything, including the new life growing within her, to avenge the kingdom and the life that was taken away from her? Teaser: "Why is it that whenever we meet, you are always in an uncompromising situation?" The newcomer says, instilling a mix of terror and relief in me. Despite the darkness in the room, I immediately recognize the man who saved me from certain death. My wolf lets out a happy yelp inside my head as it acknowledges the presence of our mate. Aldriech takes a step towards me, his warm chocolate eyes fixed on mine, making me crave the comfort of his arms. His gaze surveys me, and suddenly, I feel self-conscious. I'm certain my cheeks are bruised from the slaps, my hair is dishevelled, and half of my dress is torn in the upper part. Looking like an utter mess is probably an understatement to define my current appearance. My mate's eyes darken with anger as he assesses the damage that's been inflicted upon me. He takes one step to close our distance while still holding the bloodied sword in his hand. "I-" I try to speak, but the words catch in my throat. The corners of my eyes heat up with tears. He has already saved me twice.
