Akaia never cared about finding a mate. She was the quiet one, the dependable one, the woman content to live on the edges of her pack's world. But at her last Chance Mating Ball, fate marks her in the most unexpected way. Her new Alpha mate brings her home, and the illusion of safety shatters. His pack is twisted, his desires darker than she could have imagined. Fleeing for her life, Akaia crosses into a territory protected by a pack that feels nothing like the one she escaped. And their Alpha, calm and steady, looks at her like she's finally something worth protecting. A second chance at love, a second chance at heartbreak, and a second chance for her world to come crashing to an end.

Some loves feel like gravity. Others, like war. Abhishek was the kind of beautiful that came with bruises. Older. Louder. Reckless. He didn't love her gently-he loved like a storm tearing through everything soft inside her. He knew just how to pull her in, make her laugh, then leave her bleeding. And still, she stayed-because he made the pain feel like passion, and the control feel like care. Then came Aditya. Quiet. Unassuming. Constant. He didn't try to save her, but something in his presence made her feel worth saving. There were no declarations, only glances that lingered too long and silences that meant more than words. He never tried to be her peace-but he was. She never meant to be caught between two universes-one that destroyed her, and one that saw through the wreckage. But hearts don't break clean, and sometimes the ones we run from are the ones who know us best. Torn between obsession and affection, between the boy who burned her and the one who simply stood still-watching, waiting-she must decide: Will she keep chasing the fire, or finally choose the quiet pull of the stars? A haunting, tender, and deeply emotional story of bruised hearts, unspoken love, and the kind of connections that never really fade-When Our Stars Align is not just a romance. It's a reckoning of what love becomes when pain feels like home. ---
