by Cassandra M
When two broken souls meet, will there be room for love to grow or will their demons break them apart?
Life has never been good to me. And just when I thought life couldn't get any worse, the Goddess mocked me one more time and gave me a stubborn and difficult Alpha as my fated mate—someone who wanted nothing to do with me.
But what did I have to lose? To begin with, I had nothing.
So, leaving and forgetting all about him should be easy.
Well, it was, until it wasn't.
Book 5 of the Black Shadow Pack Series. This is a stand-alone novel. However, to better understand the characters and the universe I created, I highly recommend reading the first four books of the series.

Through The Eyes Of My Alpha by Cassandra M ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5 Stars 💕This is the book we have been waiting for! Through The Eyes Of My Alpha is the fifth book in the Black Shadow Pack Series.

I love seeing old characters reappear, as it adds depth to the characters and plotlines. Book five will pick up where book 4 left...

Riley just wanted someone to love him for him, and Nadia was trying to get away from a very cruel family, and they meet by accident and after...

I never expected to fall so completely for Alpha Riley—but this book redefined him in the most powerful way. After being introduced as the antagonist in Caspian and Andrea’s story, I wasn’t sure redemption was possible. What Cassandra gives us instead is a deeply broken Alpha laid bare—his insecurities, his pain, and his desperate yearning to be loved and accepted. Watching him confront those wounds and transform because of love was both raw and deeply satisfying. Nadia is his perfect...

Through the Eyes of My Alpha is a powerful, emotionally driven redemption story that proves nothing — and no one — is purely good or evil. Riley, once easy to see as a villain, becomes deeply human in this installment: flawed, guarded, and afraid to fully open his heart. Nadia’s strength lies not in fighting or fleeing, but in staying — in choosing love even when it isn’t easy, even when Riley shuts himself away from the world. Their dynamic is intense, raw, and beautifully layered, showing...
