Blurb
Love and sacrifice...
Omegas choose their mates, and Lily had been certain Jensgar would be happy she had chosen him. Instead, the former general of the king's army refused her, forcing her to the leave the pack she'd adopted. Humiliated and heartbroken, she returns to the Black Ridge Pack, only to find the pitying glances and hushed comments too much to bear. She has no home, and no one to call her own. Convinced she has no other choice, she flees to the forest to live as a wolf. She is shocked when Jensgar, in wolf form, comes for her, and slowly convinces her to trust him again. But the woods hold secrets, and danger. When Jensgar's life is threatened, Lily gives up everything to save the man she loves, and once again puts her chance for happiness in peril.

Excerpt
He
stepped onto his front porch and couldn’t help but stop to look at
the display of color in front of him. Another gift from Lily. The
blooms she’d coaxed to weave up the posts and across the railings
stretched outward to reach the late afternoon sun.
Jensgar
could picture the sunny day she’d given him this gift as if it were
yesterday. She’d been working in the fields helping the pack
farmers with planting their new crops. Lily had the gift of
fertility, among others, and shared it with anyone who needed it. He
had watched over her while she remained in the fields, not a hard
task in the least. He felt a certain contentment when he was with her
that he’d not felt in well over one hundred years.
Lily
had spent most of the day out in the hot fields. He’d gone to her
to escort her back to the pack house. She’d finished the second
bottle of water he’d made her drink, not wanting her to become
dehydrated, as they’d passed his cottage. She stopped midstride and
stared at his humble home. He had been a bit self-conscious when she
walked up to the gardens and sunk her hands into the earth.
Vines
had sprouted almost instantly and wrapped themselves around the front
railing before climbing up the timber walls. When she’d finished
the front of his house, Lily stood back and viewed her creation with
a satisfied smile. At the time, Jensgar hadn’t realized how
poignant and appropriate her next words would be.
“Something
to remember me by.” She’d smiled at him but nothing could hide
her sadness.
Now,
Jensgar buried his face in the soft blooms and breathed deeply. For a
brief second he felt her presence, but all too soon it was gone. In
time, Lily would understand that he’d done what was best for her
future. She was a powerful omega destined to lead a pack, not to
settle down with a has-been. Sure, he’d been the general of armies,
chosen by the king himself, but now as he approached his four
hundredth year it was only a matter of time before he’d be retired
for someone younger.
