Sabrina had been Noah’s childhood friend, and their bond was something that everyone knew. Their families had been close, and as children, they had grown up together, inseparable. There were even rumours that they were once fated to be mates. Noah had been in love with her for years, and after high school, he had followed her abroad in an attempt to win her heart.

But Sabrina, for reasons unknown to most, had rejected him. Heartbroken, Noah returned to the Blackstone Pack and buried himself in his duties, taking over as Alpha and growing the pack into the powerful force it was today. Sabrina, however, had remained a part of his life—distant, but never entirely gone.

When she returned from abroad, everything changed.

Noah was excited when she came back. He went to the airport to greet her in the early hours of the morning, something I knew was more than just a friendly gesture. She had always been special to him, and despite everything we had been through together, I could feel her presence creating a distance between us.
