Ella believed that she would die of refusal. She did not think that it would free her. Expectant and abandoned, Ella runs to the enemy land with nothing but the life develops within her, the son of her former mate, the child he will never see again. Alpha Kane Winters is her savior and his help has a price not known to her until it is too late. He doesn't see Ella. He observes the apparition of the deceased mate. Stuck between the obsessive love of Kane and the desperate redemption of Nathaniel, Ella gets to realize something she never suspected and that is her strength. However, in a case when old evils, conspiracy of councils, and malevolent magic are united against her yet to be born child, she will not be strong enough. To pursue the fools gold, Nathaniel sacrificed a diamond. Now he will torch the world to show that he is a different man but words are empty and Ella cannot trust him anymore ever since that night when he preferred another woman to her screams. Rejection cannot break some bonds. Others are in blood, stampeded with treachery, and trying with unbelievable decisions. Fighting to secure the future of her son, Ella will have to realize the fact that the worst monsters wear the mask of rescuers, the redemption requires more than excuses, and that there are situations when the only means of getting somewhere is not to wait to be rescued. Because a Luna doesn't kneel. She rises. And when she does it, the entire world shakes.
Voir plusKane Winters, Shadowmere's Alpha, wasn’t who I figured he’d be. We were driving to his territory on winding mountain roads in the back of his SUV, and I was rethinking everything I thought I knew about rival pack leaders. Nathaniel was all about sharp edges and barely controlled power, but Kane had this quiet, dangerous vibe.He seemed younger than I thought—maybe early thirties, with messy dark hair and these sharp green eyes that just seemed to *see* right through you. He almost seemed like a scholar, someone more suited for a library than a boardroom. But the way he moved, that easy confidence, that was all Alpha.“So…” he said, his voice low, breaking the heavy silence since we left the diner, “Sage says you want a *fresh start*.”“Among other things,” I said, my voice tight, trying to sound professional. I might be desperate, but I wasn’t about to spill my guts to a guy I just met.“And what else is on your mind?” His eyes flicked to mine, searching.I met his gaze, my heart poun
*Two weeks later*The rain hammered against the windows of the tiny diner like angry fists, each drop echoing the chaos in my mind. I sat in the corner booth, nursing a cup of herbal tea that had long gone cold, staring at the classified ads spread across the cracked Formica table.*Waitress wanted. No experience necessary.**Night shift cleaner. Must have own transportation.**Receptionist. Previous pack employment preferred.*That last one made me laugh bitterly. Previous pack employment. As what—disgraced former Luna? Publicly rejected mate? Woman carrying her ex-husband's secret child?I pressed my hand to my stomach, now subtly rounded at eight weeks. My secret was safe for now, hidden beneath loose clothing and careful positioning. But soon, very soon, I wouldn't be able to hide anymore."Rough day?"I looked up to find a woman about my age sliding into the booth across from me. She had kind eyes the color of warm honey and auburn hair that caught the diner's fluorescent lightin
The pregnancy test landed hard on the bathroom floor. The pink lines seemed to mock me from the pristine white tiles. My hands shook as I gripped the vanity, staring at my reflection. I looked pale, tired, and broken.I was six weeks pregnant carrying the child of the man who had just embarrassed in front of our whole pack.*“I, Alpha Nathaniel Blackthorne, reject you, Ella Montgomery, as my mate and Luna,”* he had said.The words kept playing in my head. It felt like a knife to the heart. He said it at a pack meeting, with tons of people watching. His mistress, Vivian, was right there, clinging to him like she'd won a prize.I put my hand on my stomach, where our child was growing, not knowing any of this was happening. Nathaniel didn't have a clue. How could he? I found out myself just hours after he dumped me in the worst way possible.A knock at the door broke my thoughts. “Luna? The Alpha wants you in his office.” It was Beta Harrison, sounding formal and cold.Luna. Not for long
