Sequel to 'Moon's Betrayal' set a month shy of the twin's eighteenth birthday. References to book one. Can be read as standalone. Follows Bellamy Carter, the Siphon who helped the Venscothi family time and again in the first book, and Kenzie Venscothi, the female twin of our favorite Krosthani trio. Kenzie has been raised believing that she has no magic or wolf which was supposedly the result of inheriting the Nokaura poison that once ravaged her mother's body. What she does not know is that this is a lie that they concocted after she was born to try and protect her from a prophecy that pits her against Asry the Nokaura King. Bellamy comes back just in time to save her before her parents do something that will unknowingly kill her. He helps her get away from the lies she has been told all these years. The truth is remarkable. She has the most powerful magic he has ever encountered. It is one reason his magic always manifested strongly around her growing up because hers was being suppressed. Their destiny brings them together in the most intimate way possible. It will irrevocably change the world of witches, a people that they belong to more than the shifter side of their hybrid DNA. Everything has a balance in their world. Strong magic comes with a weakened wolf. They are more witch than shifter. They not only have to face Asry but also have to deal with other powerful witches who want to either enslave them or destroy them. There are even more enemies lurking in the shadows just biding their time to strike. Can they protect each other while protecting everyone else as well? Can they figure out who their enemies are and stop them before it is too late?

Freya Parrish was orphaned at age three by her family's rival pack, which forcefully took power from the Blue Moon Pack, murdering everyone except 'lucky Freya.' After the death of everyone in her pack, Freya was supposed to be the ruling Omega being the only survivor, but she suffered from amnesia, leaving Alpha Hero Ian at advantage. The Omegas were never seen as worthy or relevant. They were the bitches and their pack was the most fragile. This implicated anyone from their pack because their hate came naturally. Alpha Hero Ian turned Freya into a slave for his pack, the Blood Moon Pack. For some reason, everyone felt intimidated by Freya, even though she was fragile. This led to everyone to hate and maltreat her, including the Alpha's rude and spoilt son, Dante Ian. As the governing rule of the Blood Moon Pack states, 'All slaves must be set free on their eighteenth birthday,' Freya got sent far away into the human world without any orientation or shelter. Dante on his path took over as the Alpha after the death of his father. For him to become true after, he must also bond with his mate. Desperate to make his pack whole, he goes searching for his mate, which was no other than the girl who hates even the air that he breathes. Despite all the ugliness, is there a chance for Freya and Dante to put their past and differences aside for both packs? Being the only survivor, Freya needs to bear the child of a true Alpha to avoid the extinction of the Blue Moon Pack. “Forgiveness is a pricey pearl that cannot be handed out with ease. It takes more than love and mate bond to win this battle.”

Perfection was the curse. I was born into wealth, beauty, influence, and a family empire that stretched across continents. People envied my life, not knowing it was nothing more than a gilded prison. The only thing that ever felt real was ballet, the passion my parents forbade because it brought them no power, no profit, no leverage. My parents; greedy, ambitious, unfillable, hid their cruelty beneath luxury. And on my eighteenth birthday, they revealed the ultimate betrayal. I was engaged to a powerful man twice. . . no, three times my age. A man feared across Europe. A man whose hands were stained with secrets the world pretended not to see. They sold me to strengthen an alliance. So I ran. Barefoot, shaking, heartbroken. I stole one of our visitor's chopper and fled to Sicily, thinking distance could save me. I thought I escaped the monsters who owned my life. But I only ran into a darker one. Because Sicily is his territory; Aldrick Moretti, the shadow king of the Italian underworld. Cold. Untouchable. Beautiful in the most devastating way. The man people whisper about as if speaking his name is a sin. A man with eyes that see through lies. . . including mine. And the moment he found me trespassing on his land, bleeding, terrified, and wearing the remnants of a runaway bride. . . He didn’t return me. He didn’t free me. He claimed me. Not as a business deal. Not as an alliance. But as something far more dangerous. He became my captor, my protector, my obsession, and the forbidden flame I should never have touched. Because in his world, love is not tender. It’s a weapon. And I am the sacrifice wrapped in a veil he refuses to let go.
