About this book
Her scent was his obsession; his bite became her lifeline.
Levi
As the Alpha of my pack, I never expected to lose control when I found my fated mate. But one whiff of Nia's scent and my world tilted on its axis. I claimed her against her will, stealing her choices and her future. Now I'll do anything to earn back her trust and her heart. Even if it means breaking the rules of my kind. She's everything I never knew I needed, and I won't let anyone or anything come between us again.
Nia
When the sexy and intimidating Levi claimed me as his fated mate, he took away my freedom and ripped me from my dying grandmother's side. At first all I felt was hatred toward the shifter who turned my world upside down. But as time passes, Levi shows me kindness and patience I never expected. If I open myself to him, will I finally find the happiness that's eluded me for so long? Or will the demons from my past destroy what we're trying so hard to build?
A quick note to my readers: Forgiving Levi is filled with raw emotions and doesn’t really have a traditional happy ending. It’s more of an explanation for why Kane was so overbearing in Taming Kane—because Nia’s story is heartbreaking. At best, it’s a "happy for now," and even that feels uncertain.
The second part of their story, which I’ll start working on this weekend, will bring their happy ending. I’ll include a list of content warnings, and as always, I encourage you to protect your peace while reading. This is a slow burn.
If you're new to the series, this book is a prequel to Taming Kane, part of the Fated Mates Series. Nia is not fully introduced until Claiming Gabriel, the second book in the series.
This book has dark themes. Please take heed to the content warnings at the beginning of the book. Protect your peace!
This is just the first part of their story. The second part, Redeeming Nia, will follow their journey of redemption, second-chance romance, and a heartfelt happy ending.

Levi and Luna story was very interesting. Glad they were able to figure it out in the end. Now what are we going to do with Olivia. )

I felt so sorry for Levi. I also wanted to ring Levi’s neck for the poor choices. And Nia made me want to scream, however, I understood it. Getting snatched away from your world and being left with no choices, bitterness is to be expected. Overall good story. I wanted more of Levi’s personality, but I loved getting a peek into the pack’s dynamic. Also, Skylar!? I didn’t know you had it in you, girl! Haha! Poor Micah. That boy didn’t catch a break. I think something that Author Tessa Stone...

Ok, these books for me ate 5 star and beyond kind of reads. But , this time , these were quite a few discrepancies that were hard to ignore. I don't want to ruin anything for anyone, but i had a hard time telling who was speaking and a difference of characteristics of the brothers ,, but I will just say that, even with those typos, it was a phenomenal read !! Reading Nia's POV was enlightening. When I heard that Nia was getting her own book, I was like, ok. Great. But reading her journey, helps...

From the beginning by reading the other books, you always hear how the shifter males don’t want to end up like Levi and Nia. They are a cautionary tale that is a guide on basically what not to do when finding your mate. I’m so happy that the author gave us this book because hearing bits and pieces of their story in the other books and how she is I knew that there was more to it. Even From the bits that we were getting from the a little information that we got from the other stories I couldn’t...

I’m glad I read this book it gave me a better understanding of Nia and Levi’s beginnings, now while I do understand the depth of what Levi did, I did find myself disliking Nia still. I understand her situation wholeheartedly but I’m a firm believer in forgiveness and once you forgive someone that needs to be it, you can’t keep backtracking when things aren’t going your way. And I honestly believe no matter what she says she will never truly forgive Levi, because angry or not why would she name...
