They tell the story of our mating as a warning...IzzyIn my pack, I'm a cautionary tale, the female who made her mate wait too long and drove him into rut.After that terrible night, Trevor was exiled, and I became a lesson to others that Fate always wins. Fight, and you'll lose.But maybe I don't want my life to be a lesson to others. Or a tragedy.Some wounds can't be healed, but what if I tried?Would Trevor try, too?Or would he run again from the female who turned him into a monster?TrevorThe night I attacked my mate destroyed me. Until then, I had believed that I was a good male.In the end, I was an animal.If not for Izzy-and the bond aching in my chest that tells me she's still alive, still fighting-I would've given up years ago, but I can't abandon her.I can't face her, either.But then, by a twist of Fate, our paths cross, and I don't have a choice. She's standing in front of me, scared and shaking, but she's not running away.And I have no idea what to do-or how to even begin fixing the unfixable.This story contains scenes that may be difficult for some readers.
