As enemies close in, a spy infiltrates her trust, and a tragic miscarriage ignites a mafia war.

Rejected. Alone. Guilty. Drax Freling is the rightful alpha of the Lunar dusk pack. His father who was the former Alpha of the pack, died. Leaving the pack to the leadership of his younger brother, Damian. Drax is supposed to be proclaimed Alpha when he turns 20. But the elders of the pack thinks that might be a bad idea, because Drax's Wolf has a history of being too wild and uncontrollable. Their insecurity is confirmed when Drax's Wolf springs out while having sex with his mate and murders nearly half of his family including his mate. When he shifted back to his human form, he realized the tragedy he had caused. His family members where killed because of him. Or so he thought. The guilt and trauma of the tragedy causes Drax to flee to a new city where he starts a new life away from his pack. While in the city, he coincidentally discovers the truth about his past. He was set-up. Will he return to take revenge on his contenders?

Gideon Gray deliberately failed to arrive on time on the day of our bonding ceremony, all so that he could defend my adoptive sister. Dusk had already fallen when he finally had his Beta relay a message to me. "If you hadn't stolen Selene's necklace, she wouldn't have been upset all day. Consider this a lesson. If you don't apologize to Selene, the bonding ceremony isn't happening." Just like that, I became the laughingstock of the entire pack. Even my own brother took Selene's side. "Maybe Gideon defending her is a good thing. It'll teach you to fix that attitude of yours." I turned and walked away. Since I could not rely on my mate or my brother, I would claim the Alpha Female position myself.

I sell handmade fortune cookies in the park. Each one costs $10,000, yet every day, people fight to buy them. That’s because what I sell are fertility fortune cookies. Eat one, and you can get pregnant instantly. You can even choose what kind of child you want. Slip in a double-yolk charm, and you’ll have twins. Seal in a perfect test paper, and your child will be a genius. A spayed female dog ate one and ended up pregnant with six puppies. Someone buried a fortune cookie beneath a withered tree, and by the next day, it had burst into full bloom. I sell fortune cookies to both women and men—anyone who wants to get pregnant. I turn no one away. Even animals, if they so much as make a sound, I’ll feed them. Until one day, a young woman, Mara Kessler, who had been standing in line from dawn until dusk, finally stepped forward and timidly said she wanted to buy a fortune cookie. I only took one look at her, then staggered back in terror. "I can’t sell to you. Leave. Now."

She was sent as a peace offering. She arrived as something they had no law for. When Ivy Voss is traded across Pack borders to seal her father's treaty, she expects politics, cold stares, and a year she can survive with her dignity intact. What she doesn't expect is Caelum Dusk, the Alpha's quiet, steady brother who looks at her like she's something worth keeping. Or Rook Vane, the enforcer who followed her from the Syndicate, who knows every dangerous thing about her, and whose orders she just discovered are not what she was told. One man offers her roots. The other offers her wings. The Pack's ancient laws have no word for a woman who wants to grow both. As the treaty fractures and an enemy neither side anticipated makes its move, Ivy must reckon with the wolf she never knew she was and the life she never knew she wanted. Love has territory too. And some borders, once crossed, cannot be uncrossed. In Ashveil, peace is never free. And neither is she.
