Pearl Cole
After spending ten years loving Alpha Kael from the shadows, Lyra Blackwood finally gets the one thing she has always dreamed of—she is about to marry her fated mate.
Once branded as the daughter of a traitor, Lyra endured years of humiliation, bullying, and loneliness. Kael was the only person who ever stood up for her, teaching her to believe that her past did not define her. When he confessed his love, she believed the Moon Goddess had finally rewarded her unwavering faith.
But on the day they are meant to become mates, Kael's ex-lover crashes the wedding, battered and terrified, accusing Lyra of kidnapping and torturing her.
Planted evidence. False witnesses. A pack eager to condemn the traitor's daughter once again.
When Kael chooses to believe the accusations instead of the woman he promised to protect, Lyra loses everything—her freedom, her reputation, and the man she loves.
Thrown into prison, Lyra uncovers a conspiracy that reaches far beyond a ruined wedding. Her father's death was no accident. The betrayal began years ago, and someone is willing to destroy entire packs to keep the truth buried.
As mysterious allies emerge, dangerous enemies close in, and an ancient secret tied to the Moon Goddess awakens, Lyra must decide whether to fight for the mate who broke her heart... or embrace a destiny far greater than the life she once dreamed of.
Because sometimes the Alpha's greatest mistake isn't rejecting his fated mate...
It's realizing too late that she was the only one who could save them all.
