Shadows of the Heart

By Nicole Simmons

Rune has long been groomed to inherit the mantle of Alpha Lord, yet he carries a secret no one in his pack knows: he already found his mate once, and lost her before their bond could ever be revealed. Her memory lingers like a shadow, deepening his fear of the curse said to haunt Starfall's Alphas.

When T ile is revealed to be his new Goddess-given mate, Rune's world fractures again. Accepting her would mean opening the wound he's kept hidden-and risking that fate will strike twice. Though T ile sees hope where he sees doom, Rune pushes her away, determined to protect them both from a future he's certain will end in loss.

But the heart doesn't always yield to fear. And as past and present collide, Rune must choose: cling to the shadows of grief, or step into the light of a bond that demands honesty, trust, and a courage he never thought he could find.

A story of love, destiny, and healing, Shadows of the Heart delves into what it means to let go, to trust again, and to discover that even in sorrow's wake, the heart can still be reborn.
