E Ink Wristwatch

In his first life, Iniko lived with pain and loneliness. His unviable egg was taken to a laboratory where he was brought to life by a cruel scientist, only to be held captive and abused. When he escaped, he was alone in the world. That changed when he found Eliane. He fell in love with her and gave her his heart, only for her to be mated to his brother. Knowing he would always be a third wheel and wanting Eliane to know that he truly loved her, he gave his life to save her. That should have been the end of his story, but on the night they burned his body, Phoenix heard the heartbreaking cries of those around her. She used her powers of resurrection and pulled Iniko’s ashes into a glass egg where his body reformed and regrew. In his second life, Iniko was born as he should have been. As the son of Avani and Zephyr, Iniko was raised with love and affection. He has no memory of his horrible past. When he turns five, Iniko shifts into his human form for the first time. Immediately after shifting, he sees her, his mate, announcing their bond to everyone who came to watch his first shift. But Iniko is the only one who doesn’t remember his past. He’s the only one who doesn’t know what his life was like before, or that he gave himself to his brother’s mate when he knew she didn’t belong to him. Can Iniko and his mate get past the history he knows nothing about and forge a new life together? When Iniko learns about his first life, will he and Ancalagon remain friends? What will it mean that a second Alpha of Alphas has awakened?

On our wedding day, my bride insists on wearing an old, beat-up watch with the million-dollar wedding dress I buy her. I call off the wedding on the spot. She looks at me in shock. "You called off the wedding just because of a watch?" I take out the divorce agreement and tell her to sign. "Yes. Because of that watch." Everyone calls me crazy. They cannot believe I would end a ten-year relationship over something so worthless and file for divorce in front of everyone. Dad walks up and slaps me across the face. "Get on your knees, you disgrace." My mother-in-law shrieks that I have ruined her daughter's future by returning her like damaged goods. I look at the watch on her wrist, which is stopped at 3:07, and I smile. Then, I phone my assistant. "It's time. Release everything. I want a divorce."

On Valentine's Day, my wife gave her late sister's widower a fifty-two-thousand-dollar Rolex. "Marcus, my sister may be gone, but that does not mean you should go without the things other men have." Marcus took the watch with barely hidden excitement. "From now on, my son and I will depend on you." My wife thumped her chest and promised she would be his and his son's support from now on. I watched the two of them cling to each other and said calmly, "Ines Sutherland, I want a divorce." She frowned at me. "It is just a watch. What are you jealous about this time?" I smiled faintly and handed over the divorce agreement. "Sign it. Then you can take care of Marcus with a clear conscience."

Anaya expects to uncover the truth behind her grandfather’s death. Instead, she is drawn into a deadly mystery where hidden enemies, buried secrets, and a ticking clock bring her closer to a truth someone will kill to protect. Forced to trust the one man she should fear, Anaya and Kabir must uncover the secret behind the watch before time runs out. Because when the watch strikes the thirteenth hour, nothing will ever be the same.
