When Alpha Jace Brown’s bride disappeared hours before their wedding, he chose me instead. Not because he loved me, because I was his mate but because I was convenient. The forgotten omega, unwanted daughter and the perfect substitute for him. For four months I lived as Luna in name alone. No mark, no bond and love. Only endless reminders that the title around my neck belonged to another woman. Then Jenna returned, the sister I trusted, the bride I replaced months ago. The woman everyone believed had suffered because of me. One lie after another, she convinced the entire pack that I had stolen her life… and stolen the man who had always belonged to her. By the time I realized the truth, my husband had already chosen her all again. So I left. But my disappearance didn’t end the nightmare, it began instead. Because the farther I ran from Babcock Pack, the more impossible truths I uncovered. The wedding wasn’t an accident, My miserable life wasn’t an accident. Even becoming the Substitute Luna…had been planned before I was born. Now the Alpha who cast me aside is searching every territory for the woman he lost. While the sister who stole everything from me will burn kingdoms to make sure I never return.

“Luna Selene is gone,” he said. “Until she is found, the pack must not panic. Morale must not break. Our enemies must not sense weakness.” “I—I understand.” His eyes darkened. “No. You don’t.” He studied my face like he was memorising it. “You will take her place.” The world tilted. “What?” “You will act as Luna.” My breath stuttered. “That’s impossible. I I’m just—” “A substitute,” he finished. “Exactly.” My chest tightened. I was no one here. An omega. A giirl; who avoided being noticed. “I can’t do that,” I whispered. “Yes,” he murmured, stepping closer, voice dangerous silk. “You can. And you will. I will protect you,” he added softly. “But from this moment on, you belong to me.” Aria has always lived in the shadows — unnoticed and unremarkable, surviving in a world that rewards power and punishes weakness. But now she is pulled from obscurity and thrust into the Alpha’s world, forced to stand in as the mate for a woman who disappeared, a role she never asked for and cannot refuse. Kieran, the Alpha of Crescent Stone, searches tirelessly for the woman he believes is his fated mate. Aria is meant to be nothing more than a placeholder, a lie to protect the pack from panic. Yet the closer she stands to him, the more his control falters, and the more the Moon seems determined to bend fate in her favour In a world of rival packs, buried secrets, and whispered prophecies, Aria’s presence sets events in motion no one could have predicted. One girl, a stand-in for a missing Luna, may hold the key to unravelling a legacy of loyalty, betrayal, and love — whether the packs survive it, or fall, remains to be seen.

When she decides to leave, nobody believes she will actually do it. By the time they realize what they've lost, it may already be too late.
