LOGIN"I, Sophia Evergreen of the Ironclad Pack, hereby officially reject Marcus Blackthorn of the Nightfall Pack, and from this moment forth, I am no longer your Luna." Those words were supposed to free her. Instead, they marked the beginning of her death. Poisoned by her husband’s new mate. Framed as a traitor. Killed then sent back in time with one day to change everything. As enemies plot, lies spread, and Marcus claws desperately at her life, Sophia must become the warrior Luna she was never allowed to be. But with two Alphas claiming her future one out of obsession, the other out of fate. Will her second chance lead to victory… or another betrayal?
View MoreEthan's POVThe attack came at midnight.Not at the border, not at a supply point, not through a messenger or a carefully placed act of sabotage designed to look like something else. It came straight through the eastern tree line toward the pack house itself, forty wolves moving in coordinated formation with the kind of disciplined aggression that didn't come from anger alone but from planning, from someone who had spent time thinking about exactly how to hit a target that had been preparing for a hit.I was already awake. I hadn't slept properly since Thornfield and I wasn't going to tonight either, not with Lila in holding and the news of her capture having gone out through channels I couldn't fully control. I'd known Marcus would hear it. I knew it would land hard. What I hadn't fully accounted for was how fast he'd move, the hours between Lila going down and Marcus deciding that patience was finished.The pack bond lit up all at once, every ranked wolf on the eastern perimeter reg
Sophia's POVFor about three seconds the exhibition hall held its collective breath and nobody moved.Then Lila moved, and everything happened at once.She didn't run for the door. That wasn't Lila's way and it wasn't her instinct, the instinct of someone who had spent her entire adult life turning bad situations into managed ones through aggression and control. She turned on the nearest cluster of people and her hands came up and what came out of them was not the careful, precise magic she usually deployed but something raw and panicked and enormous, the kind of power that came from a practitioner who had stopped calculating and started reacting.The force of it threw three people sideways. An elderly Alpha from the northern territory hit the display table behind him and went down with it, jewelry and glass scattering across the floor. Two others were knocked off their feet by the perimeter of the blast, not at the center of it but close enough to feel the impact. The screaming start
Violet's POVThe hardest part was the waiting.I had positioned myself near the far display table with a clear sightline across the full length of the room, close enough to the eastern corridor that I could move fast if I needed to, far enough from Lila that I wasn't in her peripheral awareness. I had a glass of water I wasn't drinking and an expression I'd been carefully maintaining for the past forty minutes and a clock running in the back of my head that I couldn't turn off no matter how many times I told myself to stop counting.Lila had taken the glass from Sophia at seven fifty-two. I knew because I'd watched it happen with the particular focus of someone who had spent two days preparing for a single moment and needed to be certain it had actually occurred. The lift of the glass, the drink, the easy social smile Lila wore while she swallowed, none of it looking like anything other than a woman enjoying champagne at a lovely event. She hadn't hesitated. Hadn't paused. Had taken i
Sophia's POVThe exhibition hall looked exactly the way I'd imagined it when I first sketched the layout three months ago, before any of this, before the war council and the messenger and Thornfield and all the weight that had accumulated around what was supposed to be a straightforward celebration of work I was proud of. The long display tables ran the length of the room with clean white cloth under each piece, the lighting was warm and directional the way the consultant had suggested, and the champagne was already poured in long elegant rows on the table near the entrance, each glass catching the light in a way that was almost unreasonably beautiful given what one of them was going to do tonight.I moved through the room an hour before the guests arrived and checked everything twice, not because I thought anything was wrong but because moving helped and standing still did not. The jewelry itself was genuinely good, I could see that clearly in the way you sometimes couldn't see your
Max's POVI wasn’t looking for a fight.That was the honest truth, and I needed to be clear about it at least inside my own head, because by the time it was all over I could already see how it might look from the outside—like I’d gone out of my way to start one. But I hadn’t. I’d just been doing wh
Violet's POVThe ceremony was meant to be gorgeous.That's what folks kept repeating while they fixed the flowers, lit candles, and smoothed out their nicest outfits with steady hands. Gorgeous. Full of meaning. A real gift from the Moon Goddess. I'd caug

Sophia's POVDawn hit way too quick.I woke up to an empty bed. Ethan was gone already. Getting stuff ready. Setting things up. Taking charge.I got up. Threw on some clothes. Basic stuff. Useful.
