Iniko: A New Beginning

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. Then he found Eliane. He fell in love with her and gave her his dragon’s 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 hers. 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. Using her power of resurrection, she 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 has been raised with love and affection. Iniko has no memory of the horrible past that he survived. 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? And what will it mean that a second Alpha of Alphas has been born?
