First published September 25, 2023

My mate rejected me, leaving me broken. I refuse to let that happen again—even if Steele is the one for me.

I hold the power of flame and future in my hands, but I know the world is watching. Waiting for us to fall.

The truth and lies that bind the Aspen Pack together are crumbling and I am to bear witness to its fate.

I know the Enforcer of the Aspens is my mate.

Yet neither of us want what fate decrees.

So, we’ll fight side by side and ignore the burning attraction between us.

Only when a traitor rocks the foundation of all we know, we might not have a choice to who we cling to in despair.

The vampires were only the pawns in this war.

The demons are on their way.

And if we’re not careful, the Aspen Pack could lose someone that breaks them.

And I could lose my mate.

Again.

The final battle is approaching. The enemy is always one step ahead and the pack has had enough. Everything is intense and emotions are running high  as everything in the Pack world is about to come to a head.

Jade and Steel have been dancing around each other for sometime. They are both trying to each other, but yet both have things that keep them from truly discovering what they could be together. The Pack knows it’s time for all this fighting to come to an end. As they gear up for what they hope to be their final battle Jade and Steel take a few steps closer in the slow burn of a dance they have been doing with each other. They are an interesting match and complement each other completely.  Each of them thinking that their secrets makes it impossible for them to be with another, but yet they realized they needed each other more than they could imagine.

It is always bittersweet when a series comes to an end, but yet all good things must come to an end.  

The lines are forged and the battle has begun. Even in the worst of things, sometimes very good things can come from a mess. Carrie Ann Ryan ended the Aspen pack on a very thrilling note.
