Izzy

In my pack, I’m a cautionary tale, the female who made her mate wait too long and drove him into rut.

After that terrible night, Trevor was exiled, and I became a lesson to others that Fate always wins. Fight, and you’ll lose.

But maybe I don’t want my life to be a lesson to others. Or a tragedy.

Some wounds can’t be healed, but what if I tried?

Would Trevor try, too?

Or would he run again from the female who turned him into a monster?

Trevor

The night I attacked my mate destroyed me. Until then, I had believed that I was a good male.

In the end, I was an animal.

If not for Izzy—and the bond aching in my chest that tells me she’s still alive, still fighting—I would’ve given up years ago, but I can’t abandon her.

I can’t face her, either.

But then, by a twist of Fate, our paths cross, and I don’t have a choice. She’s standing in front of me, scared and shaking, but she’s not running away.

And I have no idea what to do—or how to even begin fixing the unfixable.
