Before the wedding, Alpha Kevin’s first love, Sandra Barlow, was betrothed to none other than David Wright—the most infamous rogue Alpha along the Mississippi River. A wolf so ruthless, even the werewolf Council preferred to pretend he didn’t exist. Alpha Kevin, ever the noble hero, couldn't bear to see his precious white moonlight thrown into the fire pit. So, what did he do? With the werewolf army of the Midnight Ridge Pack, he stormed into the rogue den and snatched her away from Alpha David. That very night, they registered their marriage and held a wedding. And me? Oh, the entire Midnight Ridge Pack was practically at the thought of watching Gamma Diana Gilbert—the strongest female warrior in the pack—get humiliated. After all, my years of loyalty, my unmatched skills, my blood spilled for this pack? Worthless. Why? Because their beloved Alpha had chosen another. I braced myself for the whispers, the pitying glances. But then— The very next day, Alpha David, the same rogue who’d been so cruelly robbed of his mate, climbed onto my villa’s security wall like a damn cat burglar. He perched there, arms crossed, watching me with an infuriatingly lazy smirk. “Wife pays for her husband’s debt,” he drawled, his voice carrying the rough edge of a wolf who lived lawless and free. “Alpha Kevin stole my mate. So I figured—you should compensate me by becoming my rogue Luna.” He grinned, canines flashing. “ That’s fair, isn’t it?” I nodded. “Fair.”

Prologue : La Naissance d'une Alpha La lune brillait haut dans le ciel, drapant la forêt de Croissant Blanc d'une lueur argentée. Les ombres dansaient entre les arbres, et le vent murmurait des secrets anciens, porteurs de destin. Je suis née sous cette même lune, il y a vingt et un hivers. Une nuit où les loups hurlèrent plus fort que jamais, comme pour saluer mon arrivée. Amarah Raven un nom qui résonne comme une promesse, comme un avertissement. Mon père, l’Alpha, me regarda avec des yeux emplis de fierté et de crainte. Il savait déjà ce que cela signifiait. Une fille, oui, mais pas n’importe laquelle. La future Alpha de la Meute de Croissant Blanc. Les anciens racontent que notre lignée est bénie par la lune elle-même, que notre sang porte la force des tempêtes et la ruse des ombres. Nous sommes la plus grande meute, la plus redoutée. Et un jour, ce sera à moi de mener nos frères et sœurs, de protéger notre territoire, de faire couler le sang si nécessaire. Mais pour l’instant… je dois encore prouver que je suis digne. Car une Louve-garou ne devient pas Alpha sans combat. Et moi, Amarah Raven, je suis prête à me battre.

The hotel called, politely reminding me that the condoms used last night were unpaid and had been charged to my membership card. I was stunned. I'd been working late until midnight and hadn't set foot in any hotel. I confronted my husband, the only person who knew my card code. Nathan Phelps looked at me, bewildered. "Honey, that hotel costs over $10,000 a night. I'd never go there. It's probably a system error. Someone must have mistyped the card number. I'll file a complaint tomorrow." Unconvinced, I called my best friend, who managed the hotel. "Tracy, check who Nathan was with at the hotel last night. I'm catching him red-handed."
