I bonded with a cursed wolf god who nearly killed me… and now I think he’s my mate. Archer was supposed to be a threat. Cold. Controlled. Hiding something ancient beneath his skin. He trained alone, bleeding under moonlight like he wanted to break. I should’ve kept my distance. But when I followed him into the Hollow, something inside him woke up—and it knew my name. He almost lost control and attacked one of our own. Then saved me with a single touch that lit up the forest. Visions showed us a past life—two souls bound by magic, torn apart by war. Three moments changed everything: He let me see his nightmares. He kissed me like it might kill him. He begged me to stay when the divine part tried to take over. And just when I gave in— I found out he was created to ascend as a god… by sacrificing everything human. If he finishes the ritual, he won’t just forget me. He’ll destroy me.
