She willingly died to get free. Only, death wasn’t the end to her suffering. When she opened her eyes moments after her death, she was back to the moment it all began.
Her wedding day.
Killian began to whimper in my head, and my heart felt like it was breaking all over again.
The pain I felt when she rejected me might be the only thing that could ever come close to the pain I am feeling right now, watching the love of my life, the woman I desire more than anything, my mate and the only future I will accept, smiling under the arm of another man.
She is accepting him. Accepting his touch, his presence, his conversation, and I’ve been praying for the last several hours that she just accepts my apology.
A story about rebirth, and an Alpha’s hardpressed journey to redemption.
This story contains some SA, language, violence, abuse
Elelira, forced by her uncle into a marriage alliance with the rumored monstrous alpha of the south, was surprised to find on her wedding day that he was actually her mate. Due to a secret she and her late mother kept, he wouldn’t feel the mate bond for two more years, until it was too late. Elelira, having grown weary and worn down by her husband's mistreatment, builds a wall around her heart and on the day she turns 20, the day Lachlan can feel the bond, she rejects him before escaping into the sea. Her freedom is short lived as her quest to find her real father takes her back to her abusive Uncle’s pack, where she is captured and tortured until her death. She hopes that is the end, but as soon as her eyes close, they open again and she is back at the beginning; the beginning of her suffering. She traveled back to the day of her wedding, and has to live through all that pain and torture again. Or so she thinks….. Lachlan was against the marriage to the conniving Alpha Wayne’s niece, fearing he was being trapped and leashed, but he had no grounds to refuse since he was the one who needed the alliance after a long war with the clans of the North. Elelira was like a temptress from hell, or so he thought. He desired her, but he thought that was just a trick from her uncle. No matter who or how many women he slept with, it was Elelira’s face that haunted him relentlessly. He fought against the desire, holding out for the day he could annul the marriage and find his true fated mate. By the time he realized it was her all along, it was too late. To correct the mistakes of his past, he sacrificed greatly to get a second chance. What he didn’t expect, though, was for her to come back with all her memories of the future from the past as well. And because of the deal he struck to be given this chance, he can’t reveal that he was the one that saved her.
My name is Chelsie. I'm an indie author living in SW Oklahoma. I started writing fantasy and contemporary romance in 2022.
I'm a mother to two. Wife to the most amazing man. If I'm not writing, I'm usually reading. Traveling and fitness are also hobbies I love.
I love to use my imaginary worlds to create yummy men (who all strangely remind me of my husband) and strong, resilient female characters who are not perfect, but grow into women fighting for their own happily ever after.
The storyline is great! I love the gist of it and how it keeps pulling you back in. However, the grammatical errors and typos were overloaded. I understand this probably did not go through a publisher or a good one when she finally moved over to books instead of a storytelling app or site, but still. Also, the way the point of view changes randomly in a chapter or only with a dash.Absolutely am in love with this story! Found this on the dreame app and am so happy that it got turned into a book!!! It caught my attention from the very beginning and I can’t wait to dive into the second one!
The book plot was pretty good, I quite enjoyed it. The only thing I didn’t liked about this book was, how much everyone was poking their noses in other people business, also the disrespect towards MMC even though he supposed to be alpha. Kinda reminded me high school. FMC always jumping into conclusions without knowing situation also become a bit annoying towards the end.
I really enjoyed these two books. It was different from other supernatural stuff I’ve read so far. The writing was better than what I usually find. It was easy to read and care about the characters. Turns I didn’t expect, which rarely happens.
This book talks about physical, psychological, and sexual abuse. It was tear jerking at times and others very heart felt. I loved this book and loved the complexity of the characters. Shows how ptsd has affected the main character making her extremely relatable. Especially to those who had similar abuse. I have a hard time reading anything to do with SA but this was great and had just enough information/ detail to give the reader the point if view needing to convey while also not going into excruciating detail to where I couldn't read it. I loved these books and would recommend to anyone who loves fantasy/romance books. I'm looking forward to reading this authors other series books.

Is this a five star book? Yes! Am I happy about that, no! This book had me reading non-stop even while I was eating LOL. THEN the end was incomplete and left me on a cliffhanger... This book cannot be read as a stand-alone and I'm not ready to start the next book but I'm doing it against my will LOL I want to rate it ZERO stars and be mad about it.... But the story is worthy of five stars. BUT I'M STILL MAD ABOUT IT....
I enjoyed the story, but there were some slow points in the story making me want to skip forward and a lot of repetition of the same thought process. There were a lot of formatting inconsistencies too, but I think a new version of the book was released after I bought it and I think that was maybe fixed.
It wasn't my favorite, but I'm still interested in reading book 2.
Beautifully written story. Great character development! Everything is captivating, but so many heart wrenching moments as well. Fair warning- it ends on a helluva cliffhanger, so be ready to grab book 2 ASAP!
This was a really really good book. I absolutely loved the groveling and that he did acknowledge his faults. OMG so good. Now about that misunderstanding at the end, it is totally believable given the circumstances. I can't wait to read the second book and see what happens.
4.5 ⭐️ - pleasantly surprised, I really loved this. Yes there was grammar and formatting errors but I liked it despite those. They didn’t take away from the story really. I just noticed them then moved along.
The H of the book and the obviously wattpad graduate author can take this “book” and shove up each other’s arses. I had wash my eyes after reading this p@thetic excuse of a book.
