LUNA ADELINE SOLACE has three goals in life: Avoid drama. Stay unnoticed. And never—under any circumstances—fall in love. So when a human boy kneels in front of her and proposes in the middle of a crowded café, Luna does what any sensible girl would do… She runs for her life. Unfortunately, she runs straight into the forbidden forest— and into the arms of ALPHA KAELEN VRYNN, the cold, terrifyingly gorgeous, and annoyingly bossy leader of the most powerful werewolf pack in the realm. The moment their eyes meet, Kaelen freezes. His wolf bows. His first words? “Please marry me.” Luna, confused and very much done with the universe, throws a rock at him. But fate doesn’t care about her resistance. Because Luna isn’t human. Kaelen, her fated mate, refuses to let that happen. What follows is chaos, comedy, and a war written in moon fire— a jealous Alpha trying (and failing) to act normal, a sarcastic heroine who would rather fight monsters than admit she’s falling in love, and a prophecy that whispers a terrifying truth: “Their union will awaken an ancient monster.” As Luna’s forgotten past resurfaces —her murdered parents, her stolen crown, and the night Kaelen found her as a child— the bond between them deepens into something powerful, dangerous… and irreversible. But when Luna must choose between her mate’s life and her kingdom’s survival, destiny demands a price neither of them are ready to pay. In a realm of magic, betrayal, and impossible love, one thing is certain— He will burn the world to protect her.
