******
Anais has spent her entire life being Mocked for her curvy figure, ignored by her parents, and overshadowed by her beautiful sister, she's learned not to expect kindness, especially not from fate. So when her mate bond leads her to Damian Blackwood, the handsome Beta she's loved in secret for years, Anais believes her life is finally about to change.
Instead, Damian rejects and humiliates her before the entire pack.
Just when she thinks she's lost everything, the last person she expects steps in.
Lucero Blackwood, the feared future Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, silences her tormentors with a single command and claims Anais under his protection.
But Lucero isn't helping her out of pity.
He wants something from her.
Something he's wanted for far longer than Anais realizes.
And Anais soon discovers there's something else dangerous about Lucero; he loves making her blush.
She's shy, easily flustered, and completely inexperienced when it comes to a man who knows exactly how to push her buttons. Lucero, on the other hand, seems to find her bashful reactions endlessly entertaining. The more embarrassed she becomes, the more he wants to tease her.
As old enemies emerge and long-buried secrets begin to unravel, Anais finds herself caught in a love that feels familiar yet foreign. Fragments of forgotten memories of a past she doesn't remember... but Lucero never forgot.
Will they finally break the cycle, or are they destined to lose each other only to begin again?
Because those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
