She was hired to find a missing woman.

She found herself.

Cara Vince has one secret gift: touch something a missing person left behind, and she sees their final moments. It's made her the best in the business — and it's a secret she's spent her life burying.


Then billionaire Ferran Darkwood walks into her office with a case that breaks every rule she knows. He wants her to find his mate. A mate who vanished twenty-five years ago. A mate he's spent a quarter-century hunting.

The only clue: a photograph of a little girl standing beside a silver wolf.

The girl has Cara's face.


Ferran isn't just a client. He's the Alpha of the most powerful hidden wolf territory in the country — and Cara is the woman his entire pack has been searching for. But he isn't looking for her to claim her.

He's looking for her because a prophecy says she's going to kill him.


She refuses to believe it — until the first full moon at Darkwood Estate, when she wakes with blood on her hands, a murdered pack member behind her, and one sentence written on the wall in red:

THE LOST MATE HAS COME HOME.

The deeper Cara digs, the more the truth unravels. She wasn't kidnapped as a child. She was hidden. Her parents weren't victims — they led a secret war against werewolves that's still being fought. And Ferran has known exactly who she was since the moment she took the case.

Because he didn't hire her to find his mate.

He hired her to find out if she remembered killing him.

She does.

She's done it three times before — in three different lives — always at the exact moment she fell in love with him.

Now, with six days until the next full moon and an army gathering at the gates, Cara has to decide: break a cycle that's older than she is, or become exactly what the prophecy always said she would be.


Some mates are fated to love each other. Cara Vince is fated to end him — unless, this time, she chooses something the prophecy never accounted for.
