Synopsis Rejected, Bound to the Ruthless Alpha Athena Grant was born to become the future Luna of the Silver Moon Pack. But after a devastating fire claims the lives of her parents, she is branded their murderer by her own brother, Alpha Damon Grant. Stripped of her title, her wolf sealed by forbidden magic, and forced to live as a servant in the pack she once called home, Athena survives years of cruelty with nothing but the hope that one day the truth will set her free. Everything changes when the Alpha Council gathers for the annual Moon Summit. The moment the feared Alpha Evan "Buck" Buckley of the Ironclaw Pack catches her scent, the Moon Goddess reveals the impossible—they are fated mates. But instead of claiming Athena, Buck rejects her before every Alpha, convinced that a broken servant could never be worthy of becoming his Luna. Humiliated, abandoned, and left to die, Athena escapes into the forbidden forest, where she is rescued by the noble Alpha Eddie Diaz. As she begins to heal, long-buried secrets emerge. Her parents were not killed by accident, her wolf was never weak, and a dangerous conspiracy threatens every werewolf pack. Now Buck must live with the unbearable consequences of rejecting his destined mate, while Athena rises from the ashes of betrayal to become a woman no one can control. But winning back the heart he shattered will be far more difficult than defeating the enemies closing in from every side. As war looms, loyalties are tested, ancient prophecies awaken, and love becomes the greatest battlefield of all. In a world where fate chooses mates but trust must be earned, can the Alpha who rejected her prove he deserves a second chance, or will Athena choose the Alpha who never let her fall?

He offers her his family name. But he never offers love. Lorrie promises herself she will endure twelve months and walk away with her heart intact. She doesn't expect Lorenzo's possessiveness. She doesn't expect his jealousy whenever another man smiles at her. And she certainly doesn't expect the way his icy gray eyes soften when he thinks she isn't looking. Lorenzo Dimitri has spent his entire life believing love is a weakness. Until the woman he bought becomes the only person he cannot afford to lose. And when enemies threaten to take her away, Lorenzo is willing to burn down empires, betray allies, and kneel before the woman he once considered nothing more than a contract bride.
