“I’m pregnant too.” Sonia, my husband’s girlfriend said to me with a voice lifts with theatrical innocence. “Chase doesn’t know yet,” she continues casually. “I wanted to wait till the divorce is finalized. That way everyone will know I didn’t need to trap him with a baby… like you did.” There it is. The knife twist. Her eyes glitter with triumph as she walks out. I open my tote bag. The divorce agreement slides out easily. A thick stack of paper demanding my complete surrender of any claim to the Warren empire. In exchange for freedom. The woman who fractured herself trying to build a family out of dust is gone. I slide the signed documents into the top drawer of Chase’s desk. Let him find it. Let him choke on it.

She doesn't deserve to be here!"

Caroline believed her world was finally aligning when she found her destined mateKlaus, the powerful heir to the Alpha throne. He was meant to be her forever, her one true bond, her everything. But that happiness shattered the moment she uncovered the truth: Klaus had already chosen another, a mate who was carrying his child. The pain cut even deeper when Caroline realized that the woman was none other than her own sister, Bonnie. Instead of standing by her, the Alpha, the Luna, and even her own parents supported Klaus’s choice, leaving Caroline completely alone. The pack she once called home turned its back on her, labeling her as an outsider an obstacle in the way of what they called the “rightful pair.” Now, forced to watch and even prepare for Klaus and Bonnie’s mating ceremony, Caroline is left broken and questioning everything she once believed in her family, her loyalty, and her place in the pack. With no one left to trust, she must find the strength to survive in a world where love and blood have both betrayed her. But just when it seems like all hope is lost, the Moon Goddess intervenes, granting her a second chance mate the most powerful Alpha to ever exist. And within Caroline flows a rare gift: her blood holds the cure to the mysterious illness that once devastated her family’s pack.

In the silver Moon Pack, Elara was an Omega who was wolfless. She was a servant who slept in the dirt, and a debt-child used as a footstool by the Alpha’s family. She spent her life waiting for her destined mate to save her. But when Kaelen finally looked her in the eye, he rejected her as his mate publicly. “I, Kaelen of Silver-Moon, reject Elara as my mate. A true Alpha needs a Luna who is strong, not a slave.” Left to die in the freezing rain, Elara thinks her story is over. Out of the darkness come four men who look like gods and move like predators. They are the Vane brothers, the most powerful Alpha bloodline in the world. They have been hunting for their lost sister, Elara, for two decades. Caspian, the Ruthless CEO, Julian, the Brilliant Surgeon. Silas, the Lethal Lawyer. Dante, the Mafia King. They promised to burn the world down for her. They promised she would never be hungry, lonely, or unloved again. But as Elara’s true power awakens–a silver energy that humbles even the strongest Alphas–a dark secret emerges from the Vane family’s past. Her brothers saved her from the Silver Moon Pack, but they might be hiding the truth about her past. And in the shadows, a twin she never knew existed is coming to reclaim the throne.

Three years later—they came back. Alpha Marcus knelt before me, his voice trembling. “Come home with us… please?” Liam knelt through the night. “Nina, I regret it. Forgive your brother…” Cole came straight from the battle field, soaked in blood, his eyes red and wet. “Look at me. Just pity me one more time, will you?” I said nothing. Because my heart had already died during those three years. Later, another Alpha stood at my side. I was the only one in his eyes. I smiled. Those people I used to know only dared to watch from afar. They didn’t even dare to come close.
