Luna By Mistake

"You actually thought I'd marry you for you?" His mouth curled. "You fat, disembodied creature." "I should've never rejected my fated mate for a bulldozer like you." "You were never meant to be Luna," I, Phoebe Rousey died on my fifth wedding anniversary, betrayed twice over. My mate, Alpha Simon of the BlackAsh pack, has spent five years using me only to seize both my birthright and the Starlight throne — and on the night I finally catch him, he tells me the truth: he rejected his real fated mate, Stella, to marry me for power alone. Before I could process the wreckage of my marriage, Stella tears through the glasshouse Simon once built me with his own hands and murders me in cold blood, jealous of every year I spent as Luna in her place. I woke up twelve days before my original bonding ceremony, young again and armed with memories no one else should have. Determined not to become a pawn a second time, I hide my knowledge behind the same soft, unsuspecting mask I wore the first time around, quietly preparing my pack for a war I now know is coming. When Simon reappears with his same practiced charm, I play along, accepting his invitation to the Crescent Festival — and his public proposal — with calculated precision instead of naive devotion. Stella is there too, and she remembers everything from our first life, including the murder. With her once-victim now forewarned and her rival still very much alive, Stella makes clear she's willing to kill me all over again. Armed with foreknowledge but facing an enemy who shares it, I must decide how far she's willing to go to survive — and win — this time.
