Phase of Fate

I was the average daughter. The troublemaker. The side character in my sister's story.

My sister was a Prodigy, endowed with exceptional skills and bonded with a guardian. In a world where all leaders, scientists, and artists are selected and pledged to shifters, she was born for greatness.

I was born to live in her shadow.

In a moment of rebellion, I trespassed on pack lands and an alpha guardian shifter, Theo, bonded to me. Tragedy makes me reject the pairing.

They say I am a Prodigy now-someone special.

I think they're wrong.

Theo is protective, overbearing, and gets under my skin. He knows me better than anyone else. It takes everything I have to keep the wall around my heart built up.

I refuse to ever trust a shifter.

I refuse to fall in love with my rival.

But fate comes in phases.

Once a nobody, now a hero.

Once an enemy, now my forever.
