He rejected his fated human mate to save his pack. Now the cursed Luna he broke is the only one who can save—or destroy—him. “Mine.” That single word from the most dangerous man in the room changes my life forever. I’m just a broke human waitress, juggling two jobs to pay my mother’s hospital bills, when a brutal bar fight ends with my throat under a stranger’s claws…and my fate sealed by a kiss I never asked for. Ronan Vale, Alpha of the Crimson Hollow Pack—cold, merciless, untouchable—claims me as his mate in front of his warriors. There’s just one problem. I’m human. His pack wants me dead. And Ronan? He rejects me in public the very next day. To the wolves, I’m nothing but a bargaining chip: a human “Luna” tied to the Alpha by a contract arrangement to keep peace with the human council. To Ronan, I’m supposed to be an inconvenience—a weakness he can not afford. Then why does he look at me like he wants to devour me? Why does my body burn whenever he’s close? The more Ronan touches me, the more something inside me awakens: sharp senses, violent hunger, flashes of another life that doesn’t belong to a human girl at all. I’m not just a human Luna. I’m the cursed mate he once swore he’d never accept… and this time, I might be the one who walks away.

For three years, Elena was the proud, fiercely loyal Luna of the Bloodstone Pack. She managed their finances, secured their borders, and quietly made the ultimate sacrifice—taking the public blame for being "barren" to protect the crown and pride of her husband, Alpha Garrick, whose secret sterility would have invited a coup.

He brings a manipulative, low-ranking she-wolf named Tessa into the pack house to serve as a "fertile surrogate," publicly stripping Elena of her title, her bedroom, and her dignity.

But Elena doesn't die. She is rescued from the blizzard by Alpha Kaelen of the Midnight Frost Pack—a legendary, ruthless beast of an Alpha whispered to be completely heartless. But the moment Kaelen lays eyes on Elena, his inner wolf roars a singular, devastating truth: MATE. As Elena heals in the northern kingdom, two shocking truths shake the werewolf world. First, she and Garrick were never true fated mates. Second, within months of being wrapped in Kaelen's dark, possessive embrace, Elena falls pregnant with powerful Alpha twins. She was never the hollow vessel; Garrick was just never man enough for her wolf. While Elena steps into her true power as the revered, fierce queen of the North, the Bloodstone Pack begins to rot from the inside out as Tessa's lies unravel.
