About Shattered Bonds: A Second Chance Mate Novel
"At just sixteen, Ellaine Rollin—El to those few who care—received her wolf and the cruel truth that came with it: Ruben Black, her fated mate and the son of the pack’s head warrior, was never going to choose her.
She was too young, too powerless, too insignificant in a world where rank meant everything. He chose ambition.
He chose Kaithlin Powel, the Alpha’s daughter. He chose a future as Alpha, not love.
And El? She was forced to witness their mating ceremony—an event that shattered every thread of their bond and crushed what was left of her heart.
. El is nineteen now, and Italy is her escape, her salvation… or so she thought.
A scholarship.
A ticket to Italy.
A new life far away from rejection and heartbreak.
But healing is never easy, especially when your soul is still wounded.
Her wolf, Mika, remains silent, weakened by the broken bond. And El is still haunted by everything she lost—and everything she never truly had.
That is, until she crosses paths with him: Francesco Totti, the Alpha of the Italian territory. A powerful, brooding Lycan who hasn’t smiled in decades.
His fated mate—Anastasia—was taken from him long ago, and ever since, he’s ruled with an iron heart, colder than any winter.
He despises humans. He avoids pack ties. He’s lost, and proud of it.
But when Francesco and Ellaine meet, something ancient stirs. A fragile understanding. A shared pain. Two broken wolves, both marked by betrayal, both shaped by loss.
She is light wrapped in shadows.
He is shadows touched by the memory of light.
They were never supposed to meet.
And yet, fate intervenes again."
