Nik Connal never expected to find his fated mate again—especially not in the ruins of a brutalized pack he's been tasked with rebuilding. As an unrecognized Alpha, his every move is under scrutiny. As a male haunted by his past, the last thing he can afford is weakness.

Isa has worked too hard to let anyone break her again. She's teaching other wolves to fight, to survive, to reclaim their power. And now her once-rejected mate is back in her orbit, complicating everything.

The mate bond between them still burns hot. But forgiveness, trust, and love will take more than instinct. It'll take a leap of faith neither is sure they can afford.
