"What's that?" I whispered to myself as I felt something moved very fast behind me.

It was very dark at night and a dim-lighted lamp was the only source of light I had to see my way home!

"Oh my God!! What could that be?" I whispered to myself again as it moved again, this time, I felt it getting closer to me.

Suddenly, I heard a soft whisper close to my left ear "she's back and will spare no one". I became more terrified and decided to run. As I was running, I felt that something was running after me, something I couldn't see.

Suddenly, my foot hit a stone on the ground and I fell down with a loud thud, shattering the only source of light I had to pieces!

And as I was trying slowly to get back to my feet, I was startled by what I perceived in my nostrils. It was as if what was chasing me was right before my face but yet, I couldn't see it, I could only perceive the smell of warm human blood!

******

On her 18th birthday, Katerina Bathas expected a miracle. Instead, she got a death sentence. Her fated mate, the cruel and powerful Alpha Kol Night, rejected her in front of the entire pack, calling her "unworthy" and "disgusting."

Broken and maltreated by Ace, her own brother, on the basis that she was believed to have killed their parents, Katerina flees into the wilderness, choosing the life of a Rogue over a lifetime of shame. But the girl who left the Fallen Moon Pack isn't the woman who returns.

Rescued by the mysterious Untamed Pack, Katerina undergoes a lethal transformation.

Now, Kol is back, haunted by the bond he tried to break and desperate to reclaim what he threw away. Caught in a deadly tug-of-war between two Alphas, Katerina must decide: Will she return to the mate who shattered her, or surrender to the Alpha who saved her—even if his love is built on a lie?
And oh, who is this third Alpha claiming to be her mate as well?
