At fourteen, Scarlet Rivers is chosen as Alpha of the Blue Lagoon Pack-respected by some, but never truly accepted by those closest to her. Especially her own blood. When she finally receives her wolf, she also receives a mate bond-with her brother's best friend. What begins as hesitation turns into something fragile... something real. Until pressure, loyalty, and lies pull them apart. Just before everything falls apart, he rejects her-or so she believes. And Scarlet is left with nothing but silence. Then her world is destroyed from within. Betrayed by family and stripped of everything she is, she is taken and forced into years of survival she never should have endured. But fate does not leave her forgotten. An Alpha finds her. And he feels it immediately-the bond tied to her soul. The one she cannot feel anymore. Broken by rejection and what she survived, Scarlet cannot accept what he knows to be true. Not yet. Because healing is not instant. And neither is trust. The Wolf Reclaimed is a dark supernatural romance about betrayal, buried truths, and the slow, brutal journey of learning to live again when even fate refuses to let you go.

This is the first release set in the world of Aidonia-a dark fantasy realm steeped in corruption, divine tyranny, and creeping chaos. Follow Lyraeth, a young mage who calls the kingdom of Varkhal home, as she is thrust into a world where the gods themselves weave chaos into mortal lives.

Or is she there for an entirely different reason? Their final, supernatural confrontation reveals answers he may not be ready to hear.
