The wolf within

The wolf within

Werewolf
5.0
Mate. I froze mid-step, Venom has never said that word before. I've suddenly forgotten the Rogues I was chasing, my whole attention now on the emotions I was feeling. My vision sharpened, focusing on the faint sound of labored breathing just ahead. My heart hammered in my chest as I walked closer, the bond pulling me forward with an urgency I hadn't felt in decades. The first thing I saw was her hair, a messy dark bun with strands of white, unusual yet unique. She sat curled up against the base of an old tree, arms wrapped tightly around her knees, shoulders trembling. Her thin, tattered sweater barely shielding her from the cold air. She looked... fragile, a word I never thought I'd associate with my mate. But then I saw her face as she turned. It broke me. Her face was swollen, her eyes shades of dark purple and red all over. Her nose looked broken and her lips split. Ariel's life has been anything but easy. Orphaned as a child and left in the care of a cruel stepfather and stepbrother, she's endured years of emotional and physical abuse. Despite her circumstances, she's always felt something stirring beneath the surface-an unexplained restlessness, vivid dreams of running under the moonlight, and a deep connection to the forest around her. Zayn, the alpha of the Shadowcrest pack, has spent years searching for his fated mate, the one who would complete him and stand by his side to no avail...he had finally given up on ever finding her. His pack thrives under his leadership, but his heart has grown weary, doubting the Moon Goddess's promise of a mate. When a chance encounter leads him to Ariel, he's stunned to discover that the fragile, broken girl is his destined partner-and more than that, she's a wolf completely unaware of her true nature. As Zayn helps Ariel unravel the mystery of her past and embrace the wolf within, the bond between them deepens. But the shadows of her stepfather's cruelty and the enemies lurking in Zayn's world threaten to tear them apart. To claim her place by his side, Ariel must rise above her pain, uncover her true power, and face the truth of who-and what-she really is. Will Zayn's unwavering love be enough to heal the scars of her past? Or will the darkness lurking in Ariel's soul consume them both?
