A. K Chinora
Three years. That's how long Sera has loved a man who never saw her.
As Luna of Ironclaw, she runs the pack flawlessly—manages the household, raises their daughter, smiles through every neglectful silence. But Alpha Killian has never once looked at her the way he looks at Selene, the first love he never got over.
When Sera discovers Killian has been letting Selene play mother to her daughter—and that she was only ever a "safe" placeholder—she does the unthinkable. She rejects him publicly, severs the bond, and flees with her three-year-old into the night.
But freedom comes with a price.
Stranded, broke, and broken, Sera ends up in a seedy bar, drowning her sorrows. A stranger with gray eyes and dangerous hands listens to her pain. One night. No names. No strings.
She wakes up alone.
Weeks later, she's hired as an administrator for the Shadowclaw Pack—only to walk into her new boss's office and come face-to-face with the stranger from the bar. Alpha Kael.
He remembers everything.
And he wants more.
But Killian isn't done with her. He wants Lyra back. He wants Sera back. And he'll burn the world to reclaim what he threw away—including the secret buried in Sera's bloodline that makes her more valuable than any Luna alive.
Now Sera must decide: run again, or stand and fight beside the one man who sees her—not as a placeholder, but as a prize worth burning for.
