Nalani's whole life, everything had been chosen for her. Her role in the Omatikaya clan. Her mate. Her entire future. And within one night, everything she had ever known is taken away.

"Do not see our caution as disrespect. The last person who came to speak to Toruk Makto killed his child." My heart sunk. My heart sunk to the floor and I wanted to scream. But I didn't. "I'm aware...I was betrothed to Neteyam once." I hissed. Her face changed. It was as if in that moment, she realized I was who I said I was. "Nalani?" The voice behind me sent shivers down my spine.
