Dzifa
Princess Selene Ashbourne was born beneath a silver full moon, destined—so she believed—for Kael Blackthorne, the brooding hostage heir whose touch first awakened her mate bond. But Kael has never looked at her with love. He looks at her like a chain. On the night their wedding is meant to unite their warring packs, he turns the ceremony into a massacre, publicly rejects her, and allows his warriors to drag her into captivity as a pawn of revenge.
Broken, betrayed, and left for dead, Selene's silver wolf awakens with a terrible, ancient power—she burns the corrupted bond from her soul, an agony that should have killed her. When she claws her way back to the Moonstone Court, she expects comfort. Instead, her father the Alpha King sees a scandal, the Council of Elders sees a ruined asset, and the pack sees a princess too damaged to rule.
But the Moon Goddess is not finished with her.
Rowan Vale, a noble warrior who has loved Selene silently for years, becomes her shield, her ally, and her proof that devotion need not be possession. When a rare second-chance mate bond sparks between them—warmer, steadier, and utterly chosen—Selene must navigate court betrayal, her father's tyranny, and Kael's agonized regret to claim a throne no one believed she could hold. Her first mate made her a weapon. Her second chance mate will help her become a Queen.
