Now

She was rejected in less than two minutes.
He chose someone else without a second glance.

Zara Silverwood had her heart shattered on the night she found her fated mate — a powerful Alpha who looked her in the eye and walked away without hesitation. She accepted his rejection, picked herself up, and moved on.

Or so she thought.

A year later, Alpha Noah Flinch is back — and he wants a second chance. But Zara is done waiting for a wolf who didn't choose her the first time. With her father threatening to hand over pack leadership unless she takes a mate, Zara makes a bold and unexpected decision.

She will take a chosen mate.

Her best friend Levi — loyal, hilarious, and hiding his own secrets — agrees to stand by her side at the altar. It is the perfect plan. Practical. Safe. Uncomplicated.

Until the most intoxicating scent of honey and vanilla fills the mating hall and Kaya howls the one word Zara was not prepared to hear.

Mate.

Her second chance mate is in the room.
He is watching her walk toward another wolf.
And he is not stopping the ceremony.

Some wolves get a second chance at love. The question is whether they are brave enough to take it.
