Fate gave him a mate once. He trusted her-and it nearly destroyed him.
Beta Freddie Voss knows better than most that a mate bond doesn't guarantee love. When the woman fate chose for him betrayed that trust, he walked away with scars he doesn't talk about-and no desire to risk it again.
His loyalty belongs to his pack. His heart stays guarded.
Until her.
Willow Pappas was born a rogue and forced to survive in a world that never showed her mercy. When she chose the wrong man, she paid for it in ways no one should have to endure. Escaping him was only the beginning.
Because the wolf she was truly meant for has been waiting... even if neither of them is ready for what that means.
Their connection is undeniable. A second chance neither of them expected.
But trust doesn't come easy when it's been broken before.
As danger closes in and the past refuses to stay buried, Freddie and Willow are forced to face the truth of their bond-and decide if they're willing to risk everything for it.
Because this time, fate didn't make a mistake.
It gave them another chance.
Fated mates. A second chance bond. A hardened Beta. And a survivor learning to trust again.
