I stand on the brink of a past I've lived and a future I've yet to claim. Five years ago, my world crumbled when Lucan, the Alpha I loved, the man destined to be my mate, chose betrayal over loyalty; my sister over me. His blatant rejection of my love but refusal to reject our bond, kept me on a string for years. Until my sister decided to orchestrate my murder when I fell pregnant with Lucan's child. Fate, it seems, holds a twisted sense of mercy. I find myself back in time, five years before my life turned into a nightmare, on the night my Mate Bond with Lucan snaps into place. But this time, I'm not the same Verena. I refuse to be the victim, the one walked all over. With a resolve forged from pain and betrayal, I stand before our pack, our family, our friends, and I shatter the expectations of fate. I reject Lucan, and the ripple of shock is my first taste of victory. But my plan doesn't stop there. I aim higher, daring to entangle my fate with his enemy, Alpha Niklaus King, a man as dangerous as he is ruthless. It's supposed to be a game, a strategy to topple Lucan from his throne. I didn't anticipate the fire Niklaus would ignite in my soul, a passion fierce and consuming. As I grow closer to him, the lines blur; my heart, once set on revenge, now beats a different rhythm. Torn between the past's shadows and a future that's as uncertain as it is thrilling, I find myself questioning everything. Lucan's betrayal branded me, but Niklaus offers a chance at healing, at power. Yet, can I trust this new bond, or will it become another chain?

And maybe one day, we’ll be able to look past our roles and see each other for who we really are
VerenaI’m walking through the back gardens of Dante’s estate alone, trying to wrap my head around what Niklaus told me last night. I mean, I had my own suspicions, since I figured out none of the spells Kris taught me would have worked on Peter.But it makes no sense. If Kris wanted Peter’s place i
I lean back in my chair, processing this new information. It reshapes the image I had of Kris, complicates it. “So, she might still be harboring some old ambitions? Is that what you’re suggesting? She wants Peter’s position?”“Yes,” Axton confirms, his gaze steady. “Her expulsion could have been the
NiklausI wait for Verena to fall asleep again before slipping out of the bedroom and making my way to Dante’s office. He mentioned earlier that he found something out, and after speaking to Axton about my suspicions about Kris, we were all on high alert.We didn’t know who to trust outside of our i
The decision is final, firm, and it’s classic Niklaus—taking control, making sure we’re safe. But it’s more than that; it’s him trying to put the world back together after it’s been torn apart.He pulls me closer when he sees the look on my face, his embrace reassuring. “I know, baby, and I’m sorry.
VerenaThe softness of the plush bed and a slight throbbing in my head pull me slowly out of sleep. I feel clean, refreshed, but still so exhausted. It’s one of those moments where the world isn’t quite solid yet, where everything feels a bit like a dream—except the arm wrapped around my middle is u
A black SUV pulls up, dust billowing around it as it comes to a stop. The door opens, and sure enough, but it’s Dante, his expression grim as he steps out. He’s followed by Axton for some reason.Of course, I fucking forgot Dante is based here. Fuck, that demon did a number on me.“Ah, I think I mig
NiklausWith Verena in my arms, I walk out of the basement and already know where the fuck we were being held. Of course, he’d bring us back to his fuckass compound in Vegas; of course he’s always been here.I let out a low growl as his guards approach me while I walk and I wish to fucking Gods I ha
Niklaus paces behind me, a caged animal eager to join the fight. /“Stay back. This is my fight, baby. I have to end this,”/ I remind him through our link. His frustration is palpable, a tangible thing that prickles at my senses, but he respects my wish.“Why protect him?” Peter taunts as we circle e
