Revived By My Mate

He’s finally found his fated mate…and she’s dying.

Julian
I’ve watched all of my friends find their fated mates, and now I’m ready to find mine.
I like to plan everything out, to prepare for anything, and I finally feel ready.
I have a home, a good job, friends, and a strong community.
Everything is perfect.
I dream of finding my mate and living happily ever after.
Then I find her, and I realize that I waited too long.
She’s dying.
I can save her with a single bite, but doing so would force the mating bond, stealing her choice.
For the first time in my life, I don’t have a plan.
All I know is that losing her isn’t an option.

Ridley
I’ve been wandering around the woods for days.
I’m delirious, dehydrated, and starving.
When my body finally gives out, I wonder if anyone will ever find me.
Then I wake up.
I don’t know where I am or how I got here.
I only know there’s a strange bite mark on my neck… and a man named Julian watching me like his world depends on it.
He says he saved my life, but he’s hiding something.
And until I know the truth, I’m not sure who—or what—I can trust.
