I never thought love could feel like a curse. Being the future Alpha of my pack was supposed to be my biggest challenge, but now I’m living a double life, torn between two powerful mates. Xander, the fierce Alpha of a rival pack, claimed me the moment our bond snapped into place. He’s intense, possessive, and when we’re together, the pull between us is undeniable. His need to own me is overwhelming, and I feel it in every heated glance, every touch. But I’m hiding something from him. Because I’m also mated to Aiden, my childhood best friend and the Beta of my own pack. With Aiden, it’s different—he’s my anchor, my comfort, the one person who’s always understood me. Our bond feels like it was destined from the start, and being with him feels as natural as breathing. But I know I can’t have them both. Xander would never share me, and Aiden deserves more than a halftruth relationship. Every day, the weight of the secret I carry grows heavier. The lies, the stolen moments, the constant pressure to choose—it’s tearing me apart. How can I be mated to two incredible wolves and not feel like I’m betraying them both? The tension is suffocating, and I can’t keep living like this. I know it’s only a matter of time before the truth comes out. When it does, how can I survive the fallout? Because when they both find out, I’m sure I’ll lose everything.
