"You think I don't want to leave? My wolf would find you." Damian's words are branded into my heart like a searing mark.
Ella Blackwood awakens to discover she's lost three years of memories, yet has become the mate of Damian, the most powerful werewolf Alpha. More shocking still—her ex-boyfriend Lucas, Damian's own brother, has been exiled from the pack.
As Ella readjusts to her luxurious new life, she discovers she's not only the head of the werewolf medical consortium but is also known as the "Miracle Doctor." However, pack elder Marcus schemes in the shadows, plotting to challenge her legitimacy at the annual summit. Even more complicated are her conflicted feelings toward Damian—this cold Alpha who prepares her hot chocolate, remembers her every preference, and even places the ancestral silver blade capable of killing any werewolf into her hands, saying: "If you discover I'm the villain, then kill me."
When Lucas secretly reappears, claiming Damian has been surveilling her from the beginning and may have even manipulated their fated bond, Ella plunges into a crisis of trust. The Blood Moon pack's threats intensify, family political struggles escalate, and she must perfectly perform as a loving mate at the summit.
At the lavish summit banquet, when the Blood Moon Alpha's sister deliberately splashes red wine toward her white gown, Ella grips her wine glass, prepared to retaliate. At that moment, Damian's hand covers hers, his eyes holding a depth she's never seen before: "Trust me."
Meanwhile, at the far end of the ballroom, Lucas's figure flashes by—he shouldn't be here. Tomorrow is their appointed meeting day—Blackwood Sanatorium, 3 PM.
Ella must choose: trust the husband beside her, or meet the ex-boyfriend who claims to hold the truth? But what she doesn't know is that regardless of her choice, someone waits in the darkness...
