I bonded with a cursed wolf god who nearly killed me… and now I think he's my mate.

Archer was supposed to be a threat.

Cold. Controlled. Hiding something ancient beneath his skin.

He trained alone, bleeding under moonlight like he wanted to break.

I should've kept my distance.

But when I followed him into the Hollow, something inside him woke up—and it knew my name.

He almost lost control and attacked one of our own.

Then saved me with a single touch that lit up the forest.

Visions showed us a past life—two souls bound by magic, torn apart by war.

Three moments changed everything:

He let me see his nightmares.

He kissed me like it might kill him.

He begged me to stay when the divine part tried to take over.

And just when I gave in—

I found out he was created to ascend as a god… by sacrificing everything human.

If he finishes the ritual, he won't just forget me.

He'll destroy me.
