Everyone talks about how precious is the mate bond, how it is the most important thing in the life of a werewolf, and how it should lead us, shape us, make us who we are... What no one ever talks about is the pain. The guilt. The loss. Aiden, the next alpha of the golden night pack, is too old to have a mate. Luckily for him, he doesn't want one. He saw his pack butchered because his father struggled to face the loss of his mother. Mates make you weak. When the dreadful moment arrives and he meets her, he discovers a different mate with a different approach than he expected. As they are getting to know each other, will they decide to change their minds? will they die trying to be together or apart? ***Warning- the story contains discussion of abuse, torture, rape, murder, explicit scenes, etc. People who find it triggering be warned.
