Aiden expected to wake beside his mate.
Instead, he wakes in chains.
The air is warm with summer, the stars unfamiliar, and the clothes on his back belong to another age. Before him stands a younger Moon God—a Theron who has never met him, has never loved him, and sees him as nothing more than a human offering meant for the moon.
But Aiden remembers.
He remembers a love that crossed lifetimes.
He remembers three children waiting for him.
He remembers a promise to come home.
As the past slowly unfolds, Aiden begins to witness the first life he had only seen in fragments. The beginning of the love that would echo through countless cycles... and the mistake that doomed them all.
Because this Theron has never loved before.
And sometimes...
the first time you love someone is the first time you learn how to lose them.
