I met my mate as a child.
I was lost in the woods, and his calming voice guided me to safety without ever revealing himself.
Since then, he’s watched over me but never showed himself. I yearn to touch him, to hold him.
Yet still, he lurks in the shadows, never claiming me.
I wonder if there’s something wrong with me. Am I not good enough for him?
But then, when I turn 21, I’m attacked by rogues and left for dead. As I feel the life drain from my body, a creature appears on the edge of my blurry vision.
“Stay strong, little mate. You’re mine now.”
As the mate bond surges between us, I know he’s not a wolf.
He’s something older… Darker… Deadlier.
Who the hell is my mate?
And what will happen to me now?
