LOGINRhiannon Ashwood, a wolfless orphan in the Crescent Moon Pack, endures a secret six-month affair with future Alpha Darius Nightshade, filled with passionate promises of forever. But on her 18th birthday, when their mate bond snaps into place, Darius publicly rejects and humiliates her to protect his status, driving her into the deadly Forbidden Forest. Pregnant and broken, Rhiannon awakens her hidden Chimera heritage—an ancient, shape-shifting power that makes her far stronger than any wolf. Over five years, she builds the elite mercenary group Silver Claws, raises her son Soren (Darius's secret child), and becomes a legendary force feared across territories.When Darius's pack faces annihilation from a rogue-vampire army led by the Blood King, he desperately hires the Silver Claws—only to discover Rhiannon as their leader. As they clash in battles and alliances, old wounds reopen: Darius grapples with regret and fatherhood, while Rhiannon wrestles with lingering feelings amid jealousy from suitors like her second-in-command Cade. Twists reveal deeper conspiracies, including Rhiannon's prophetic role in an ancient war, family betrayals, and Soren's emerging hybrid powers. Through epic fights, forced proximities sparking heated reconciliations, and moral dilemmas, Rhiannon must decide if vengeance or forgiveness will define her future—culminating in a high-stakes climax where love, power, and redemption collide to unite or destroy the packs forever.

Outside the tent, I could hear raised voices—pack members arguing, choosing sides, the chaos Darius had unleashed spreading like wildfire."It's just pack business, baby." I knelt beside him, checking the wards Sera had placed around the tent. Still holding. "Nothing for you to worry about.""But they're angry." He tilted his head, listening. "I can hear them saying my name. Saying I'm dangerous."My heart clenched. "You're not dangerous.""Then why do they want to take me away?" His voice was small, scared. "I heard them in the big room. They said I should be raised by the pack. That you can't teach me properly.""You heard that?" I sat back on my heels. "Soren, you were supposed to stay here—""I wanted to see." His lower lip trembled. "I wanted to know why everyone was scared of me. But then they started shouting about bloodli
Cade's POVThe council meeting had ended in chaos. Darius had tried to maintain order—shouting commands, invoking Alpha authority. But the pack was fracturing before his eyes.Elder Thorne had stormed out, taking twenty warriors with him. Pack mothers were screaming. Someone threw a chair.Darius had lasted maybe ten minutes before fleeing to his office.That was three hours ago.The scent of whiskey hit me before I even opened the door to Darius's office.I'd been looking for him for hours—the council meeting had ended in chaos, with the council dissolved and half the pack choosing sides. Darius had made his grand gesture, protecting his son.And then disappeared.I pushed the door open without knocking.Darius sat slumped in his chair, a bottle of amber liquid dangling from one hand. His shirt was half-unbuttoned, his hair disheveled. The mighty Alpha, reduced to this."There you are," I said, my voice flat. "Half the pack is looking for you."He didn't look up. "Tell them I'm busy.
Rhiannon's POVThe news spread like wildfire through dry grass.By noon, every wolf in Crescent Moon knew. The Phantom was Rhiannon Ashwood—the wolfless omega they'd mocked five years ago. And she had a son. The Alpha's son. A hybrid child with Chimera blood.I felt the shift in the air before I saw it. The way pack members stopped talking when I passed. The way mothers pulled their children closer. The way warriors' hands drifted toward weapons.Fear and hostility, thick enough to choke on."Boss." Marcus appeared at my elbow, his scarred face grim. "The council's calling an emergency session. They're demanding you attend.""When?""Now."I looked toward my tent where Soren was playing with wooden soldiers, blissfully unaware. Sera stood guard, violet magic already sparking around her fingers."They can't have him," I said quietly."I know. That's why we're ready to fight our way out if needed." Marcus's hand rested on his blade. "Say the word."Before I could respond, Cade appeared,
Darius's POVI found her outside the safe house, her back pressed against the stone wall.She'd reformed from shadow just seconds ago—I'd seen the silver smoke solidify into flesh. Her hands shook violently. Her breathing came in ragged gasps.Without the mask, she looked exactly as I remembered—silver-tipped hair, those gray eyes, the curve of her jaw I'd traced with my fingers a thousand times.And nothing like her at all.The softness was gone. Her face had sharpened, cheekbones more pronounced, jaw harder. Scars traced her hands, her neck—marks of violence survived. And her eyes... gods, her eyes held nothing but cold fury where warmth used to live.I'd destroyed the girl I loved and created this warrior in her place. "Rhiannon."She didn't turn. "Don't.""I just want to talk—""I said don't." Her shoulders tensed. "Walk away, Darius. While you still can.""I can't." The words came out raw. "You're alive. You're—gods, you're *alive*. How?"She laughed without humor. "Disappointed
