She rejected fate once. But fate doesn’t take no for an answer.Cecilia Raelle thought she was finally free.Free from the mate bond that strangled her.Free from the man who called himself her husband but treated her like property.Free from the laws of the Moon Goddess — until the day she made the unthinkable choice:She rejected her mate.Now, branded by pack law and spiritual shame, Cecilia lives in the shadows, her wolf quiet, her soul fractured. She thought she'd buried her past deep enough. She thought she could blend in, rebuild, survive.Until Eryx Maddox — the academy’s feared Alpha heir — drags her into the boy’s locker room and shuts the door behind them.“You’re not going anywhere,” he growls, his breath hot on her collarbone, his hands caging her in with sinful authority.Cecilia’s instincts scream to flee. But her body? Her wolf?She leans in.The second his skin touches hers, something ancient ignites in her blood. Her wolf howls — not in warning, but in recognition. Eryx isn’t just any bully. Not just a power-hungry Alpha in training.He feels like home.But that can’t be right.She already had a mate.She already rejected him.Second-chance mates are rare. Almost mythical. Why would the Moon Goddess gift her with another? Especially one with a reputation for violence... and obsession?As Eryx circles her like prey, and her ex-husband begins hunting her once more, Cecilia finds herself trapped between two powerful forces — one who claims her, and one who already owns her name.And in the end, Cecilia must decide:Is a second chance at love worth the risk of losing herself all over again?Or is her soul cursed to burn at the altar of the same wolf twice?
