LOGINFive years ago, Luna Catherine was stripped of her title, betrayed by her husband, and cast out of the pack she once led with pride. Even her own son called another woman “mother.” Now, she’s no longer the broken Luna they left behind—she’s Dr. Catherine Vale, a world-renowned genius doctor with a heart that refuses to stay shattered. But when her ex-husband rushes into her hospital begging her to save his dying son, Catherine’s past collides violently with her present. Healing the boy was easy. Facing the pack that destroyed her? That’s another story. As jealousy brews and dark schemes threaten her career, Catherine must decide whether to heal those who once broke her—or finally make them bleed for it. *** "After everything you've done for me, I don't deserve to stand here and apologize for how I've treated you." He leaned closer. "I wronged you, Cat. Please forgive me and give me another chance to show you I want to be the man you deserve." "Go, Leo, and be with the woman you chose over me. If you think I'd forgive you after what you've done to me, then you must think I'm a fool. You don't deserve my forgiveness, and you surely don't deserve my respect as the Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack." I turned to leave the gathering hall when he grabbed my wrist. "Tell me what you want me to do, and I'll do it. If I must leave the pack and no longer be the Alpha, then I will do it. If it means you'll forgive me."

Kane was eleven months old and entirely unbothered by his surroundings, his dark eyes moving with lazy curiosity over every new ceiling and every new light as we passed beneath them.He had Leo's eyes.I had asked for this visit myself. Leo had tried to talk me out of it. In the end he had driven me here and waited in the car.The officer stopped outside a door and nodded to me. I stepped through.Elias was already seated at the table on the other side of the glass partition. He looked up when I came in.I sat down across from him and settled Kane more comfortably against my chest.Elias looked at the baby for a long moment before looking back at me.I didn't give him time to open with whatever he had prepared."I came to tell you something," I said.

•CATHERINE•Viktor's funeral was held three days later.The pack chose a burial ground at the edge of Eclipseborn territory, where the treeline opened into a wide, quiet clearing.I dressed slowly that morning.I stood in front of the mirror for a long time without really seeing my reflection. I kept thinking about the last real conversation Viktor and I had in that clinic room.If I had known that would be our last conversation, I would've told him the truth about the baby. ***Julie and Lila were waiting outside when I came through the door.Julie didn't say anything when she saw my face. She just stepped forward and put her arms around me. I held her back and closed my eyes for a moment.Lila stood close with her hand on my shoulder when Julie finally stepped back. Her eyes were red at the edges. She had never met Viktor, but she had seen what he meant to me, and that was enough for her to grieve alongside me without needing any other reason.Leo was waiting near the car with Bri
•LEO•I was sitting on the couch in the living room when I heard her footsteps in the hallway.I had been awake for most of the night. After bringing Catherine back to Crescent Moon and making sure she was settled, I sat with Brian for a while until he fell asleep in the chair beside her bed. Then I had come out here and stayed, unable to rest, my mind turning over everything that had happened on that road.The Lycan King was dead. It was done. The war that had been building and bleeding into everything for so long was finally over.But the night had brought other news. News I had been sitting with for hours, trying to find the right way to carry it.When Catherine appeared in the doorway and the elders bowed their heads, I stayed where I was and watched her face. I saw the steadiness in it. The quiet strength of someone who had already decided who they were long before anyone else acknowledged it.When the elders finally straightened and began to speak quietly amongst themselves, C
•CATHERINE•The Lycan King didn't move.Neither did I. I held my ground, and looked at him, readying myself for what was to come next. He screamed as he came toward me with his fist in the air. The impact sent me sideways across the road. I hit the ground hard, rolled, and came back up before he could press forward. He was faster than his size suggested, closing the distance between us with a speed that left almost no room to breathe.I ducked under his second strike and drove into his side with everything I had. He barely moved. But he felt itGood.We collided again and again across that road, and every time I went down I came back up. I was a little smaller than him but I was faster, and Nyra moved through me with a clarity and fury that sharpened everything down to pure instinct.But he was wearing me down. I could feel it. Each impact cost more than the last, and my legs were beginning to feel the weight of it.Then Leo moved.He shifted and came in from the Lycan King's left
•CATHERINE•Aisha knelt on the ground in front of me, tears streaming down her face. Her hands shook as she reached out, but she didn’t dare touch me. The courtyard was quiet now, except for the soft murmurs of the pack and the distant sound of Killian and Uncle Benard being dragged away in chains
•CATHERINE• Chaos erupted in an instant. Leo's massive black wolf form charged through the shattered gates, and his red eyes glowed with fury, muscles rippling under his dark fur. The pack members scattered, gasping in shock. Some screamed, and others froze in place. Killian's guards rushed for
•VIKTOR•[126 YEARS AGO]I was heading to the woods to hunt when her scent hit me. She was crouching behind a tree, her eyes fixed on her target. I watched as she moved swiftly and caught the deer before it could run away. My heart felt warmed when I saw her. She was more like me than I wanted to
•MARY•I searched through Leo's office, trying to find something that might lead me to where Brian was. I couldn't think of anyone who might have taken him except Rylan. But he was dead now and useless to me. "How are we going to find Brian when we don't even know who took him?" Xander asked aft
