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.
View More꧁ JAXON'S POVThomas called it a gesture of unity. “The family should be present,” he said, straightening his jacket in the hallway mirror like a man rehearsing for an audience. “Shows the Alpha we stand behind Lyra. Shows the council we're a united front.”I knew better. Thomas didn't care about unity. He cared about being seen standing beside power, and if that meant riding along on Aurelia's excuse to visit her sister, he'd take the seat gladly.I went anyway. Told myself it was for Lyra, not for whatever tangled thing had been growing in my chest since the courtship went public. I almost believed it by the time the car passed through the Greyson gates.The estate was larger than anything I'd grown up around, staff moving with the particular discipline of a pack that took its rank seriously — Betas overseeing sections of the grounds, an Omega escort assigned to guide visitors who didn't already know the layout, the whole place organized in a hierarchy I only half understood and Lyr
꧁ AURELIA'S POVI arrived at Greyson territory with a single suitcase and a story already rehearsed, the kind of visit that looked like devotion and cost me nothing to perform.“I just couldn't stay away,” I told the Beta who greeted me at the gate, my voice pitched soft and a little tired, the exact register of a sister who'd worried herself thin. “With the ceremony coming, I wanted to be here for her. Family should be, shouldn't they?”He nodded, sympathetic, already waving me through without a second thought. Getting past the household staff had never been the hard part. They saw what they expected to see, and I'd spent my whole life learning exactly what people expected.The noble circles took slightly more effort, though not much. I found Priscilla within the hour, sitting with two other women I didn't yet know by name, and let myself be drawn into their circle with the practiced reluctance of someone who hadn't meant to share so much.“It must be strange,” one of the women said,
꧁ LYRA'S POVGrace found me the next morning in the library, staring at a stack of ceremonial protocols thick enough to double as a doorstop.“You look like someone handed you a legal contract in a language you don't speak,” she said, dropping into the chair across from me without waiting for an invitation.“That's fairly accurate.”“Good. Better to start honest.” She reached over, flipped the binder shut, and set it aside like it had personally offended her. “Nobody learns this from a book. Ask me instead.”“Where do I even start?”“With the parts that'll actually get you in trouble first.” She counted off on her fingers, brisk, no wasted motion. “Dispute mediation — pack members bring grievances to the Luna before they escalate to the Alpha. You listen, you rule, you don't play favorites even when one side has more money than the other. Charitable oversight — every noble family runs some pet project to look generous, and half of them are actually generous. You'll learn which half fa
꧁ ASHER'S POVThe council chamber sat twelve, and today all twelve were watching me the way they watched everything that threatened to shift the balance of who held power in this territory.Marcus opened without preamble, which was itself a strategy — get ahead of anyone else framing the conversation first. “I want to be clear this isn't personal,” he said, folding his hands on the table like a man about to deliver difficult but necessary news. “It's procedural. We have an Alpha claiming a mate bond formed within days, with a woman who has no prior standing in any pack, adopted into a Beta family with no political weight of its own. That timeline alone warrants scrutiny.”“The timeline isn't in question,” I said. “The bond is real. I've confirmed it myself.”“I don't doubt your sincerity.” Marcus's tone stayed smooth, reasonable, the exact register that made him dangerous — he wasn't attacking Lyra, wasn't attacking me directly, just attacking the shape of events in a way that sounded
꧁ LYRA'S POVMy head was pounding.I groaned, pressing my palm against my forehead as consciousness slowly returned. 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.
꧁ 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 m
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 m
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.
