In the Nightfang Clan, Asha Ravenshade is a ghost. she is a "living curse" born of a forbidden union between an Alpha and a condemned witch. For twenty-two years, she has survived on scraps and shadows, her burgeoning magic suppressed by fear. But the moon has a different plan. Everything changes during a border ambush when Asha finds Kael Varynx, the cold and lethal Alpha of the rival Silvercrest Clan, bleeding out under a broken oak. One touch of her hand triggers an explosion of moonfire that heals his fatal wounds and awakens a bond that shouldn’t exist. The verdict: Mates. Accused of treason by her own pack and hunted for the power she doesn't understand, Asha is traded like a political pawn to the enemy she just saved. But Kael is a man of strategy, not sentiment. While the mate bond pulls them together with an agonizing intensity, a centuries-old prophecy begins to unravel the world around them. As the Blood Moon approaches, Asha’s true identity is weaponized by the man who hates her most: her own father, Alpha Darian Blackthorn. With two clans on the brink of war and a land reacting violently to her presence, Asha must choose: Will she remain the ash of her father’s sins, or will she become the Moonbound queen destined to bring the Alphas to their knees?

"I was the girl they threw to the wolves. I returned as the Queen who leads them." One minute, Emma Belle was a nameless Omega servant. The next, she was a broken soul, publicly rejected and hunted by her fated mate, Caleb. But her death sentence became her awakening. Fleeing into the Forbidden Forest, Emma is rescued by the four most dangerous Alphas in the world—Damon, Nathaniel, Vincent, and the rebellious, golden-eyed Félix. They don’t see a defect; they see a legend. Emma is the last of the White Queen lineage, a power suppressed by years of betrayal. Now, as the Council of Alphas declares war and the children of her former pack are taken as bait, Emma must master her dormant kinetic powers. She is tied to four kings, but her heart is drawn to the one who saw her first. Between the fire of Damon’s obsession and the sweet, wild heat of Félix’s love, Emma will have to choose: will she be the sacrifice the world demands, or the Queen who burns the hierarchy to ashes? One Rejection. Four Kings. A War for the Crown has begun.

Darlene always knew that her curves made her different from the other wolves in the Silver Moon pack, but she thought that her beauty and her gift as a healer would be enough for her mate. She was wrong. On the night of the ceremony, in front of hundreds of mocking eyes, the future Alpha cruelly rejects her: "I don't want a Moon who can't even run alongside a warrior. You're too much for my eyes, Darlene." Humiliated and heartbroken, Darlene flees to the territory of the Blood Wolves, a pack of outcasts led by the fearsome and legendary Eryx. He is an exiled Alpha, scarred by war and hatred, who does not believe in destiny... until he smells the scent of the she-wolf who has entered his lands. To the world, Darlene is "too much." To Eryx, she is the perfection his wolf demands to claim. Eryx will not only give her a home; he will give her the power to destroy those who scorned her. Because when a Blood Alpha claims his woman, the entire forest kneels... and his enemies burn.

Lo que él no sabe es que ayer el sanador me dijo que estoy embarazada de los cachorros gemelos con los que siempre ha soñado. Como su amor es una mentira, no tengo motivos para quedarme. Ahora me iré y me llevaré conmigo a sus verdaderos herederos.
