In a world where fate is a bond, and a bond is a chain, one young man is about to discover that his destiny is his greatest nightmare. Hale Schneider has always been an outsider in his own pack. Quiet, artistic, and introspective, he sees the world differently-and for that, he has paid a price. His entire life, he has been the favorite target of Jacob Storm, the Alpha's golden son. Charismatic, powerful, and beloved by all, Jacob's public persona is flawless. But when the crowds are gone, his "lessons" for Hale are brutal, and everyone-from Hale's own family to his closest friends-dismisses it as "boys being boys," convinced Hale is just too sensitive, too dramatic. On his eighteenth birthday, the one day every young werewolf dreams of, Hale's world shatters. In a moment of painful irony, he discovers the truth that will forever bind him to his tormentor: Jacob Storm is his fated mate. In their world, the submissive wolf is the first to sense the bond, tasked with the sacred duty of revealing themselves. But how can Hale approach the man who has made his life a living hell?

To deny a fated bond is the ultimate cowardice, a betrayal of their most sacred law. The hunt for the mysterious, disgraceful mate begins.

There is a hollow place where a bond should be. A silence where the chorus of the pack once sang. For eight years, Luin Sage has carried this emptiness within him, a living wound from the day he was torn from his home and his two fated mates. Exile has been a brittle peace, a fragile existence built in the wild with Jamal, another soul fractured by the pack's judgments. Their understanding is a quiet thing, woven in shared solitude and the language of unspoken pain. It is the only balm that has kept the memories at bay. But the past is a patient hunter. A violent attack, laced with a poison that speaks of intimate malice, shatters their seclusion. Forced to return to the territory that cast him out, Luin is thrust back into the gilded cage of his former life. The air is thick with the scent of regret and the ghost of a bond that never died. His mates, the Alpha and Luna who condemned him, are shackled to him by a fate that feels less like destiny and more like a punishment. Here, every glance is a shard of glass, every whisper an echo of his crime. The reasons for his exile are a story written in scars, a truth buried deep beneath the pack's official history. And as a mysterious enemy circles, leaving cryptic warnings and a sense of dreadful familiarity, Luin is forced to confront the most terrifying question of all: Was he banished for being a monster...

I have been on display for the humans as long as I can remember. I'm nothing but a trained seal, a show pony. Something to "ooh" and "ahh" at by young and old their hands and faces pressed against the glass of my prison. I follow every order. I obey every command. I have to, though I resent his control over my life with every fiber of my being. If I disobey, if I become too much of a problem, he may give me exactly what I wish for. He may let me return. -This story has depictions of violence, depression, panic attacks, gore.

Unbeknownst to him, ulterior machinations are happening in secret that will involve the rest of the world. A world on the brink of collapse from Immortal and Ghost scheming. Sei is forced to relive painful memories of his past and learn how they are intertwined with his current situation. Will he be able to fulfill Zhil's wishes and be set free? PREVIEW: Sei watched the man intently grovel behind his red veil, hiding the wicked smile staring back. He tilted his head to the side. "Say it again." His voice was still as quiet as a whisper. The man stammered, "Say wh..what?" "My name." Clink...Sei took a step closer to the cowering man. The man looked behind himself as if there was any means of escape but it was hopeless. Behind him was only death, the dying cries crescendoing with each fleeting moment. Clink... He took another step. "Say it!" Sei took another and another. "SAY IT!" The words sounded twisted and deranged as if the monster from one's worst nightmare had finally come to life. The man fell to his knees and whimpered pathetically, "Crimson Warlock." Sei suddenly disappeared deep into the mist. The man shifted around scared not knowing where the Crimson Warlock went. A deep raspy laughter began subtly behind him, "That's it." Sei yanked the man back by his hair making their eyes meet finally.
