An Unwanted Fate

Katalina, a dedicated pack midwife, grapples with a painful past and a cynical view of fated mates after witnessing her father's grief and experiencing profound heartbreak. Just as she begins to heal, a new Alpha enters her life, stirring up a connection she desperately wants to deny. Can she escape the clutches of a destiny she fears, or will fate have the final say?

The lingering scent of newborn pups still clung to Katalina as she stepped out into the crisp morning air, the exhaustion of a twenty-three-hour labor finally starting to set in. Her wolf, Cara, however, was a whirlwind of restless energy within her mind.

"Cara, what is up with you today?" Katalina murmured, her voice raspy. "I know you love meeting new pups, but you’ve been up all night too. You should be exhausted by now."

"I don’t know. I can’t explain it," Cara hummed back, a strange buzz of excitement filling Katalina's thoughts. "I just feel like something exciting is going to happen today."

Katalina sighed, the familiar ache of past heartbreaks already stirring. "Something more exciting than delivering twins? I’m not sure I can handle any more excitement than that today."

Cara's next thought echoed with an enthusiasm Katalina couldn't share. "Meeting our mate and having pups of our own! That would be more exciting!"
