Loving him is killing her.
Leaving him might destroy them both.
Mira survived the bond that should have claimed her life-but survival came at a brutal cost.
Now separated from Darius, the shadow alpha who marked her as his mate, she's weaker than ever. The bond between them was supposed to fade with distance. Instead, it's growing darker. More unstable. More dangerous.
And she's not the only one unraveling.
Darius is losing control of the shadows inside him. His wolf grows more violent with every passing day, driven half-mad by the absence of the mate he sacrificed everything to protect. Pushing Mira away was meant to save her.
It only doomed them both.
When a powerful enemy begins hunting the fractured bond tying them together, Darius is forced to bring Mira back into the very world he tried to protect her from. But staying near him now comes with a terrifying price. Every glance burns. Every moment close to him weakens her. And one touch could shatter what little remains of them.
Then the truth is revealed:
The bond can be broken.
But destroying it means erasing everything they are to each other.
As enemies close in and betrayal cuts deeper than claws, Mira and Darius must decide whether love is worth the destruction it leaves behind... or if some mates are never meant to survive the bond between them.
Because this time, heartbreak may be the only thing strong enough to save them.
