"You said your wolf was dead." He asked her
"She isn't dead." She replied with her voice trembling
"Then where has she been all these years?" He asked again
Elara Vale has spent most of her life learning how to disappear.
After her father's mysterious death, her mother remarries a ruthless man who turns Elara's home into a place of fear. Her stepfather and his children make her life unbearable, slowly breaking the confidence she once had. Worst of all, the silver wolf who was once her closest companion disappears from her mind.
For eight years, Elara hears nothing from Lyra.
No voice.
No presence.
No wolf.
She believes she has been abandoned by the only creature who ever truly loved her.
Then everything changes when she is taken to Haven Castle, the stronghold of the most powerful wolf pack in the northern kingdom.
There, she meets Alpha Kaelen Draven—a cold, feared ruler whose wolf immediately senses something strange about her.
Something ancient.
Something powerful.
Something that should not exist.
"Where is your wolf?" Kaelen asks.
Elara lowers her eyes.
"She's gone."
"Dead?"
"I don't know."
But Kaelen soon discovers that Elara's wolf isn't dead.
She has been hiding.
Waiting.
Protecting Elara from something far more dangerous than her cruel family.
And when an ancient enemy known as the Crowned begins searching for Elara, the secrets surrounding her father's death finally begin to surface.
Why was Elias Vale murdered?
Why were the Crowned searching for his daughter?
Why does Kaelen's wolf react so strangely to Elara?
And what is the secret hidden inside the girl who has spent her entire life believing she is weak?
"You're afraid of me."
Elara's voice trembles.
"Yes."
Kaelen steps closer.
"Then why didn't you run?"
She looks up at him for the first time.
"Because..."
Her voice is barely a whisper.
"For the first time, I think someone might actually find me if I do."
Kaelen says nothing.
But deep inside him, his wolf growls.
She's not the girl everyone believes her to be.
And inside Elara, after eight years of silence, Lyra finally opens her silver eyes.
"Elara..."
"What?"
"It's time you remembered who you are."
She thought she had lost her wolf.
She never knew her wolf had been waiting for her to awaken.
