WHEN TABLES TURN BOOK 6

I tried to forget him-
his eyes, his touch, his smile, his scent.
Every trace of him that still lived under my skin.

But forgetting your mate is impossible.

Jeremiah didn't just leave me... he ran. From me. From us. From my family. And maybe, in his own broken way, he thought letting go would save us both. I told myself I'd do the same. I buried the bond, hardened my heart, and threw myself into my father's brutal training, earning my place in military intelligence. My mother fought it. My father stood proud.

War became my escape.

When conflict erupted in the Eastern Lands-known as the Skeleton Lands-I volunteered without hesitation. Strategy, bloodshed, survival. Anything to silence the ache he left behind.

But fate is cruel.

The moment I arrived, I smelled him.

The one scent my body would never forget.

Jeremiah was no longer just my past-he was the Lord Military Commander of the South. The very man I was ordered to work under. The very mate I swore I'd never fall for again.

Now, surrounded by war, secrets, and enemies on every side, fate was playing a deadly game.

And this time...
I refused to be its pawn.
