Aiden Green needs a mate if he wants to keep his pack. Just as he resigns himself to a chosen bond, he encounters his fated mate. But the magnetic pull between them isn’t entirely of the Moon Goddess’s making.
Bethany Randall, a witch haunted by a spell gone wrong from her past, craves an acceptance she fears will be eternally elusive. As she and Aiden succumb to the power of their connection, the consequences of her spell threaten to unravel the fragile threads of love weaving between them.
Secrets revealed will test their tenuous bond, with no escape from the war that is coming between witches and werewolves. A war in which the two mates find themselves in the middle.

Bethany Randall is a witch. She cast a poorly constructed spell when she was 12 and the results of that have been hard on her and probably her mate as well. But as she's reading her tea leaves she finds what she's found for days that a turning point was coming. As she's preparing for her day her roommate and her fated mate come along. When she asks to read her leaves her mate tells there;s no time. She's needed at the council. Probably more info on what she she revealed about her witch's council. War is coming. Aiden Green is a wolf and heir to Blackwood Pack. He's being pressured in taking a mate which he doesn't want to do. To be accepted as alpha he needs a mate. Going to dinner at his brother's place he is surprised when a female walks in and he smells her scent. Mate! This is the day Bethany has dreaded. She's met her fated mate but doesn't feel she'd make a good luna. She's a weak witch who at 20 is still an apprentice. She has a coven that is helping her explore her powers but that mate bond is blocking a lot. It's also why she has issues casting spells. Will she be able to unblock the mate bond in time to use her given gift to either prevent a war between the witches and wolves? Or will the bond fail because she lets it? A fascinating story of love and maybe loss.

This was a good read. I enjoyed the overall plot, but I was annoyed by Bethany and her ridiculousness. She caused most of her own troubles because of her insecurities. Poor Aiden, he needed a stronger mate. It was interesting enough to finish.

This book follows Bethany and Aiden navigating their relationship. Both characters were likeable people. Both focused on doing the right thing even it was detrimental to their relationship. It was fun reading how their mindset changed throughout the book I enjoyed this book, the dialogue, the action and the steam. 5 stars!
I didn't like this as much as the last one. I liked both mc's individually, but the fmc took too long taking her head out of her ass. Aiden was all in from the moment he realized she was his fated mate. He was patient with her, accepted her as she was, and she kept pushing him away. It was almost towards the end when she accepted their bond.
I loved the mains in this. Their story was wonderful. I love that he was so sure about her. This is a stand alone but, if you have read the whole series, there are characters from the rest that join in. I haven't read the rest of the series, and I wasn't confused. The twist and climax of the story were well thought out and were written beautifully. Spice level was maybe a 2/5. I loved that it wasn't the major part of the story. The plot and character development didn't need it.
