Between Death and Desire

Five years ago, Elara Veyne drowned while the man she loved stood and watched. The pack called her a traitor. Said she poisoned the heir. Then they let the water take her. Now she's alive again, in someone else's body, with someone else's name. Nobody remembers her - except Kael Draven, the Alpha who's spent five years hunting the people who framed her, and hasn't forgiven himself since. He doesn't know the quiet Omega girl in his chambers is the woman he watched die. But his wolf knows, and it won't leave her alone. Elara wants revenge. But the law forbids her from speaking her real name for a year and a day, or she loses her soul forever. So she waits, plays the frightened girl everyone believes she is, and hunts the truth from the inside - while Kael's guilt and the way he looks at her start pulling her toward something she never expected to feel again. To learn what really happened, she has to walk into the Moonless Forest, where the truth costs her pieces of her own memory. What she finds there proves Kael never chose to let her die - and reveals the real enemy still hiding in plain sight. She chooses him. Not because the law demands it. Because, for the first time, she wants to.
