Gentle Scars

The narrator never doubted that she belonged to one particular man, since fate had already settled the matter. Among werewolves, recognizing a mate comes with a consuming longing that a wolf would sacrifice nearly anything to satisfy. For the mate, the experience is more like a trance and a magnetic tug, paired with a yielding wish that clashes with the darkness of a past she has had to survive.

She falls for him harder and faster than she expected, and destiny's path ahead is unclear to her at first. Looking back, she realizes she would give up her life for him, and he would do the same for her.
