The Moon Temple’s Secret

The Obsidian Pack had an old tradition that never died out. Before any grown she-wolf could bond with her mate, she had to bring him to the Moon Temple in the Nightwood and receive the Moon Goddess's blessing. Only then were the two of them guaranteed a happy life together. Both of my stepsisters got that blessing at eighteen and bonded with their mates without a hitch. I was twenty-eight, and I still hadn't bonded with anyone. For the last ten years, every man who ever loved me had walked out of that temple wanting me dead. So when Ash Callahan, an outsider wolf who'd only recently joined the Obsidian Pack, asked to bond with me as my tenth lover, I fought hard against him ever setting foot inside the Moon Temple. But somehow, my father, the Alpha of the Obsidian Pack, insisted Ash go through with it anyway. I didn't understand what kind of power lived inside that temple. What was it that turned every man who loved me into someone who wanted me dead? My father knew exactly what happened every time. So why did he keep sending them in anyway? What did I have to do to stop this from happening again?
