The Return of the Lycan mate

A soft sigh escaped Arya's lips, feeling like her life couldn't possibly get any worse. She wondered if this misfortune was brought upon her by the moon goddess, a question she couldn't answer. Her existence had been marked by hardship, but finding her true partner brought a glimmer of hope. A faint smile graced her face, a memory so distant, she could hardly recall the last time she genuinely smiled - that was until the Alpha, Damian Thorne, of the Ember Moon Pack rejected her, declaring, "I, Damian Thorne, Alpha of Ember Moon, reject Arya Scotler as my mate." Now, burdened with a growing pregnancy, Arya found herself surrounded by the unexpected gift of a second chance at love. Her new mate welcomed her with open arms, but they both bore the scars of past betrayals. He too had been bitten by the Vernon, his arranged mate's intended. The thought of enduring more pain and manipulation loomed over her. Will Arya endure the torture that awaits her? What will be her fate when her second chance at love turns against her? Can she ever truly feel loved? And will she ever discover true happiness?
