19 parts Complete Mature📖 Story Description:
Desmond never wanted a second chance at love - not like this.
When the Moon Goddess binds him to his true mate, Desmond expects clarity... not betrayal. Not heartbreak. And definitely not Kayden - his ex-boyfriend's father, his Alpha's best friend, and a man who has already lived a whole life before him. Desmond is nineteen. Kayden is thirty-nine. And fate doesn't care.
Now Desmond is caught in a web of rejection, guilt, and fragile bonds. His ex has moved on with someone new. His own mate is haunted by the past. The pack whispers behind his back. And even his home doesn't feel like home anymore.
But the bond won't let go - no matter how much it hurts.
Through shattered trust, forbidden touches, and moments stolen in silence, Desmond has to decide what kind of mate he wants to be - and whether love chosen by the Moon Goddess can survive secrets, scars, and the weight of a legacy that was never meant to be his.
Mates may be destined...
But healing? That's a battle Desmond has to fight for.
