“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 wished the ground would open up and fucking swallow me.


How was it possible that I always managed to get into the most embarrassing situations? In the span of one month, I'd been rejected by my mate, abandoned by another, and still managed to get into this messed up situation.


"What's going on?" Aria asked as she walked into the room.


Her brows were knitted down in annoyance, her hands shoved into the pockets of her jeans. She was wearing that same blue jacket she wore to the pack.


"Show her your hands," the doctor urged me but I refused.


I turned to Aria. "It's not a big deal. I'm sorry that she bothered you. Please just let I go."


Aria raised a brow. "Now I want to see it even more."


When I didn't move at first, Aria grabbed my arms. Her grip was firm but not tight enough to hurt. She tugged them out from where I hid them behind my back and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw the dark bruise that marred my skin.
