He was supposed to be dead. She was the one who killed him. The last thing Silina ever wants to do is think about her past. A past that died along with her heart twelve years ago in a dirty city she never called home. But now her past is back: tall, dark, and handsome, growling about claiming his mate. Claiming her. Yet something else lurks in the shadows, scheming to pull them apart again. But Silina isn't ready to lose her mate all over again, and this time she is ready to fight tooth and nail to keep him. Content warning includes spicy scenes, abduction, murder, death, past child abuse, and adult language.
