WARNING: THIS BOOK MAY CONTAIN STEAMY AND MATURE SCENES WHICH IS STRICTLY NOT FOR KIDS OR UNDER 18+ Life in the Ember Pack seemed ordinary—until Annatoria, the Luna, was accused of infidelity by her husband, the Alpha. Infidelity was the last thing Anna would ever consider, even in a failing marriage. Yet there she stood, publicly shamed and branded a whore. A cruel setup led to her rejection and banishment, leaving her broken and alone. For three long years, Anna struggled to survive, enduring hardship after hardship. But with the help of Alpha Asher—a close friend who secretly harbored feelings for her—she rose from the ashes. Now, as a powerful Alpha in her own right, she’s the talk of the shifter world. On the day she returns to the Ember Pack to reclaim her son, fate strikes once again. As she nears the pack gates, a deep, familiar growl sends shivers down her spine. “You’re my mate.” Her wolf stirred. “What is that scent?” A mate? How did the “banished” Annatoria gain the power to walk into the pack unchallenged? And who is the wolf claiming her as his?

The pack's abandoned, adopted, forgotten child. Raised next to Ronan Voss, the future alpha. He taught her how to fight, stood by her side when everyone else ostracized her, shared her bed stolen under the moonlight. To others he had taken charity, but Liora believed it was love. She knew they were mates; she thought he knew it, too. Then came the full moon ceremony. He chose another; for the strength it gave him, for the power the alliance afforded. The bond within her shattered. No tears fell, no demands were made, just an act of defiance she left; discovered her pregnancy that night, and fled by dawn into the harsh border. Four years pass and she's not forgotten. She is the Rogue Luna, the leader of a pack of desperate renegades and bloodthirsty outcasts. Their allegiance is to her because she will protect them, provide for them, and never asks of them that which she hasn't proven she can do herself. Her son, Finn, has his father's eyes and a quirk-shift before he can walk, and the unusual ability of premonition-brought on by the severed mate bond. Now the Shadow Pack has encroached, whispers of a rogue queen capable of stopping them are everywhere. He finds her once more, finds the girl he abandoned-a stern, unbending pack leader standing before him with their child at her side. Liora has created a future that doesn't need him anymore. Family and power molded by her own two hands and she won't let him destroy it. She will not let him go easily. But there's no mercy given during wartime, not even to the heart. There's always an owed payment to the Moon Goddess. One choice will either secure the lives of all or destroy the woman she has become.
