“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 shoved my clothes into my bag, blinking back the tears that gathered around my eyes.


Rowan's words replayed in my head over again like a never-ending loop.


It was bad enough that he'd turned me away, but flat out sending me away like I was nothing--- it hurt more than I cared to admit.


I sat in bed, staring at the box in front of my—the—door. My bonfire outfit sat in the cupboard, and it seemed to mock me.


It was crazy how I started the day feeling excited at the prospect of feeling included and right now, I wasn't sure I could feel more alone.


At the first ray of sight of the sun peeking over the horizon, I grabbed my box, but at the last minute, chose to abandon it. I didn't bring any clothes with me when I came. Everything here belonged to him and I'd be damned if I let myself take anything else from him.
