I died in my fated mate's bed while he watched with cold satisfaction. Then, the Moon Goddess gave me a second chance at life-and revenge.

At twenty-one, I took my last breath. I was betrayed by my own stepfamily and poisoned by forbidden dark blood magic designed to sever my soul from my birthright. My fated mate, Jaxon-the ruthless, untouchable Alpha Don of the Lycan Syndicate-stood by and let it happen. Through our dying bond, I felt nothing from him but pure, icy relief. He wanted me gone.

But the cosmos weren't done with me.

I wake up at eighteen again. It's exactly three days before the forced Syndicate alliance where I am supposed to be handed over to Jaxon as his arranged bride. Three days before the dark magic destroys my life all over again.

Not this time.

This time, I'm tearing up the script. I will expose my stepmother's treacherous plot, secure my family's underworld territory, and weaponize the very blood magic they used to kill me.

But Jaxon isn't playing by the old rules. He shows up at my estate early, his lethal wolf tracking my scent before the official alliance is even signed. When I reject him in front of his own heavily armed guards and use dark magic to block our unbreakable bond, he doesn't walk away.

He locks down the city and hunts me.

Desperate to buy time, I flee into the lawless, rogue-controlled territories and strike a deal with Thorne-an exiled, brutal rogue Don who knows exactly how to permanently sever a fated connection. He agrees to protect me and train me in forbidden magic, but his price is steep, and the dark tension between us is a dangerous distraction.

Yet, as I prepare for war, Jaxon keeps cutting through my defenses. He's fighting to reclaim me, claiming his past actions were a lie and that our bond is the only thing worth saving in this corrupt underworld.

Now, trapped between a ruthless husband who let me die and a rogue ally with his own dark agenda, I have six days until the solar eclipse to make my choice: sever the fated bond forever and lose my true mate, or risk accepting Jaxon again and face the ultimate execution.

He says our bloodline bond is sacred, fated, and unbreakable. I say it's the exact thing that killed me.
