Even in her mind, she's never alone... Erin thought she was finally free. She escaped James's grip, reunited with her family, and started reclaiming the life she left behind. But the bond to the Dark Alphas never truly severed. Now, he's in her head. Every time Erin closes her eyes, she sees through James's, and the visions are getting worse. More vivid. More real. And each time, it's harder to pull herself back. Enter Gabriel. Cold. Controlled. Unshakable. A warrior from the Shadow Realm with an ancient past. Gabriel is the only one who understands what's happening to her. The only one who believes she's strong enough to fight it. But training with him comes with a price. Because when she's with him, she doesn't feel lost. She feels seen. And that's dangerous. The pull between them is forbidden. Shadow warriors don't take mates. They don't want them. But every touch, every glance, every time Gabriel shields her from the darkness dragging her under-he proves he might break that rule for her. And Erin? She might let him. But the clock is ticking. The goblet's power is twisting James into something worse than a monster. And if Erin doesn't learn how to control her connection, how to turn it against him-she'll lose herself completely. And this time, no one will be able to bring her back. 🔥 Tropes: ✔️ Forbidden/Impossible romance ✔️ Reluctant allies to lovers ✔️ Training together ✔️ Only he can pull her back from the darkness
