Saved by the Vengeful Wolf (Mate Match #11)
Lila Wolfe
Petra My sister was gentle where I am fierce. A healer where I am a warrior. Until a corrupted wolf got to her while I was on patrol. I came to Cupid's Ridge for one reason: vengeance. I expected a monster. What I found was a broken man who offered me his throat and said he wouldn't stop me. My wolf calls him mate. My heart calls him murderer. But as Malachar's dark forces close in and the final battle approaches, I'm forced to fight beside the man I swore to destroy. And somewhere between hatred and grief, I'm starting to see the truth: he was a prisoner to an ancient evil.
Kofi The corruption is gone—Thea burned it out of me—but nothing can burn away the memories. I don't deserve to be saved. I know that. So when Petra arrives with murder in her eyes and her sister's name on her lips, I don't fight back. Instead of taking her vengeance, she hesitates—and my wolf howls the one word I have no right to feel: mate. We should be enemies. But fate has other plans, and as Valentine's Day approaches and the danger draws nearer, I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm allowed to want something more.
Will forgiveness bloom from the darkest soil? Or will grief destroy them both before love has a chance?
Join Kofi and Petra in this steamy Valentine's short story as they discover that some bonds are forged in the hottest fire—and that healing begins when we stop punishing ourselves.
