The Messenger
READING AGE 18+
Iva, daughter of her pack’s Gamma, has spent her entire life being “not enough”—not strong enough, not fierce enough, and certainly not the son her father always wanted to inherit his legacy.
No matter how perfect her grades were or how hard she trained until her muscles burned, his eyes never softened, and his praise never came. Her mother loved her, yes, but even that love was always torn in half, stretched painfully between her chosen mate and child.
In a world where chosen mates rarely bless their families with more than one child, Iva’s birth was a miracle—and a disappointment. And with werewolves becoming increasingly immersed in human society, fated mates had become nearly impossible to find, a punishment from the Moon Goddess for drifting away from their roots. Only the gift of a Messenger, a rare wolf able to sense true fated bonds, kept hope alive for the future of their kind.

Because there are others who know exactly what a Messenger is worth.
And once they discover what Iva truly is, the hunt begins.
Will Nick regret pushing away the only girl the Moon Goddess ever chose for him? Will he get a second chance of redemption?
Will Iva’s power save her… or destroy everything she touches?
Her story begins with rejection.
But it might end with a war.

In the days that followed, Iva retreated into a quiet routine, the world outside her room a blur as she focused on something that felt almost dangerous: her future. She spread brochures across her desk, folding and unfolding them as if the paper could somehow give her courage, flipping through descriptions of colleges, programs, and courses t……
