LOGINThey killed me for an inheritance. The Moon Goddess gave me a second chance—and a dangerous mate. Lyra Stone died at the hands of the man she loved, murdered for the fortune her grandfather William left her. Jaxon—her foster brother, her husband, her executioner—stabbed her while his manipulative sister Aurelia laughed. The pregnancy that might have saved her died with her that night, along with every desperate hope she'd clung to. But when Lyra opens her eyes, she's back in her childhood bedroom on the day her nightmare began—the day the Stone family found their "real daughter" and Lyra became disposable. This time, she refuses to be their victim. Armed with the knowledge of their betrayal, Lyra makes a reckless choice: one night of freedom, one stranger in a club, one scorching encounter that awakens something she never knew existed. What she doesn't expect is to discover her one-night stand is Asher Greyson—the faceless Alpha whose identity no one knows, cursed to feel nothing until he finds his fated mate. And she's his. Asher needs a Luna within three months or lose his throne. Lyra needs protection from a family determined to destroy her. Their mating bond is convenient, combustible, and completely forbidden by the very people trying to steal everything William left her. But Lyra isn't the weak, love-starved girl who died begging for scraps anymore. She's their Luna now. And she's coming for everything they took—her inheritance, her dignity, her revenge. Let Aurelia play her games. Let Eleanor and Thomas choose their real daughter. Let Jaxon realize too late what he destroyed.

The sheets beneath me were impossibly soft, far nicer than anything I owned, and they smelled like cedar and winter and…Oh god.Memory crashed over me in waves. The club. The dare. The man with the gray eyes who'd kissed me like he was drowning and I was air.Asher.My eyes flew open, and I sat up too quickly, immediately regretting it as the room spun. Sunlight streamed through floor-to-ceiling windows, revealing a penthouse suite that probably cost more per night than I made in a month.And I was alone.I looked around the empty room, my heart doing something complicated in my chest that I refused to examine too closely. The other side of the bed was cold, the indentation in the pillow the only evidence that last night hadn't been some fever dream."Get it together, Lyra," I muttered to myself. "It was a one-night stand. That's literally the point. He's not supposed
꧁ ASHER'S POVI stared at the woman sleeping in my bed, and for the first time in fifteen years, I felt something.Actually felt something.It should have been impossible. The curse which had turned me into the famous ice king was very clear…you will never feel for anyone…not until you find your mate.I rubbed my face, ignoring the way my chest tightened at the memory.I’d been ten, just about two years younger than the little witch who uttered the words. She too was a child and had no idea what she was doing. We were young, reckless, playing around when she got offended and lashed out at me.Of course she never meant any big harm.But that curse had changed my life because even more than a decade later no one could reverse it…which meant that I grew up devoid of emotion…cold and icy indifference that had earned me the nickname - THE ICE KING.For fifteen years, I'd been numb to it all. I'd learned to fake interest when necessary, to smile at appropriate moments, but inside? Nothing.
Oh.My God!This wasn't like any kiss I'd ever experienced. In fact calling this a kiss had to be some sort of crime because a kiss isn’t supposed to feel like fire and electricity pulsing through every nerve ending and making my body come alive.Or was it?What did I know?His other hand found my waist pulling me closer as his mouth moved against mine with a hunger that stole my breath.I forgot about the dare. Forgot about my friends watching. Forgot about everything except the feeling of his lips on mine and the way my entire body seemed to recognize something in him that I couldn't name.When we finally broke apart, both breathing hard, I remembered I was supposed to say something."It was a dare," I blurted out, my face heating. "My friends dared me to kiss the hottest guy in the club, and you—I'm sorry, I shouldn't have just—"I started to step back, embarrassment flooding through me, but his hand tightened on my waist."Where do you think you're going?" he murmured, his voice
The bass thrummed through my chest as Maya pulled me through the entrance of Midnight Den, the most exclusive club in our pack territory. "I still can't believe you actually wanted to come out tonight!" Maya shouted over the loud music, her dark curls bouncing as she led me toward the VIP section. "The Lyra I know would be home with a book and tea by now!"If only she knew. The Lyra she knew had died three years from now, murdered by the family she'd loved.This Lyra was done being that girl."I don’t know…I guess I just wanna be wild tonight. Stepping outside your comfort zone once in a while is healthy for your mental health.” I called back, and Maya's grin widened."Oh, I like this energy! Come on, the girls are already here!"The VIP section was separated from the main floor by curtains that gave the illusion of privacy while still letting us see the writhing crowd below. Three women lounged on the curved leather couches, drinks already in hand."Lyra!" Sienna jumped up, her red
