I swore I’d never return to the pack that cast me out and the mate who rejected me.
And for the second time, I broke that promise.
After reclaiming the ashes of the sacred banyan that fueled our kind’s strength, I thought I’d be unstoppable. But when I saw Koen again, desperate and broken, I couldn’t leave him behind. Not again. Not when he needed me.
Defying our pack’s laws, I brought him into our sanctuary, risking everything without a second thought. I told myself it was temporary. That I could keep our worlds separate.
But having an outsider an ordinary wolf among us soon stirs trouble. Whispers of unrest are spreading. Loyalties are shifting. And I’m beginning to realize that loving him isn’t just dangerous for me it’s a threat to my entire pack.
Because Koen isn’t an Ashen Wolf. And if I can’t find a way to keep the peace, keeping him here might destroy us all.
