LOGINThree years ago, Selene Voss believed she had found her forever in Damien Crowe, the powerful Alpha of the Blackridge Pack. She was wrong. On his twenty-fifth birthday, Damien rejects her in the cruelest way possible, telling her she is nothing more than a weak wolf who was never worthy of standing beside him. Heartbroken but determined not to beg for a love that has already been taken from her, Selene leaves Blackridge behind and retreats to the mountain cabin her late grandmother left her. She expects solitude. Instead, she finds another Alpha. Colt Ashford is everything Damien never was—calm, patient and dangerously captivating. But the moment their eyes meet, Selene feels something impossible. A second mate bond. Still bleeding from Damien’s rejection, Selene refuses to accept another bond so easily. She has spent three years losing herself for a man who never thought she was enough, and she refuses to make the same mistake twice. But the moon seems to have other plans. Someone has been watching her for years, waiting for her hidden power to awaken. And the closer Selene gets to discovering who she truly is, the more dangerous her second chance at love becomes. One Alpha rejected her. Another is waiting for her to choose him. And the moon has a secret that could change everything. Because sometimes, the mate who breaks your heart is only the beginning of the destiny that was waiting for you.

Late afternoon, the sun dropping toward the western ridge and the light going gold and long through the trees. Colt stood to my left and Ezra to my right and Rafe was at the packhouse door with a notebook and a direct line to every border sentinel on the mountain."Space," I said. "Quiet. And both of you close but not touching. Not yet."They both stepped back half a pace.I closed my eyes.The afternoon mountain settled around me. Wind through the high branches. The creek running somewhere below. A hawk turning in the thermal above the eastern ridge, visible to my sentinel sense as a bright precise point of movement.I breathed and let the sentinel sense arrive on its own without reaching for it.It came. Slower than it had
SELENE POV"He is already inside," Colt said.He had pulled the car to a stop in the small gravel lot outside the Merrow Station, a low stone building set back from the road with the neutral council emblem above the door. A black vehicle was parked at the far end of the lot. Damien's."He was early," I said."He drove through the night," Colt said. "His vehicle was not in that lot an hour ago. My border sentinels track the south road."I looked at the building. Inside, Damien Crowe had driven through the night to be here an hour before I arrived and that told me something about his current state that I needed to factor into how I handled the next hour."Wait here?" I said to Colt."I will be right here," he said.I looked at him. The bond was warm and steady and his eyes were calm. He was not pretending this was easy. He was simply choosing to hold it steadily regardless.I put my hand on his jaw briefly and he turned his face into it slightly before I pulled away and got out of the c
SELENE POV:"Do not respond tonight," Ezra said.We were back in the packhouse, the four of us around the meeting table again, my phone face up in the center where everyone could see it. Damien's message sat on the screen, short and stripped of the authority he usually carried in every communication."He is reaching out because his mother just left this territory," Rafe said. "She called him from the car. He knows she came here.""He does not know what was said," Colt said."No," I agreed. "But he knows enough to be uneasy." I looked at the message again. I need to talk to you. Three years with Damien and he had never once sent me a message that sounded like that. Unguarded. Almost humble. "Something shifted in him.""The veil root the observers used last night," Ezra said. "When we neutralized them and sent them off the territory, the practitioner working the suppression on your bond from a distance would have felt the disruption. If Miriam was actively maintaining any residual suppr
SELENE POV:"She came herself," Petra said from the window. "That is either very confident or very desperate.""Both," Ezra said. "With Miriam Crowe they are usually the same thing."I stood beside Colt at the front of the packhouse and watched through the window as the black SUV sat at the south border marker. It had not moved in six minutes. The engine was still running. The tinted windows gave nothing away."She is waiting for us to come to her," Rafe said."Then she will wait a long time," Colt said. He turned to me. "You do not have to be present for this.""Yes I do," I said.He looked at me steadily. "Selene.""She broke my bond," I said. "She used old magic on something the moon built and she did it to serve her own agenda and then she sent people to my cabin in the middle of the night." I held his gaze. "I will be present."He accepted this with a single nod.We went out together. Colt and Rafe and Ezra and me, down the south path through the trees. Petra stayed at the packho
