I Ran from My Fated Mate and He Never Knew Why

by Zoe Lee

Maya fled her fated mate seven years ago with a secret so devastating she could never look back—but now circumstances have forced her home to Silverpine territory, where the alpha she abandoned still rules with an iron fist and a broken heart. He thinks she's a coward who rejected their bond for selfish reasons, and the cold fury in his eyes when they finally come face to face nearly breaks her all over again. She can't tell him the truth without destroying everything, but staying silent means enduring his hatred while the mate bond burns between them like wildfire. As old enemies close in and pack politics threaten to tear Silverpine apart, Maya must decide whether to run again or finally trust the man she never stopped loving with the truth that shattered them both. Some secrets are meant to protect the ones we love—but this one might cost them their second chance at forever.
