Soraya has survived worse than being orphaned — but nothing prepares her for being rejected during the Luna’s Calling by the one wolf destined to love her. Lucien didn’t just choose someone prettier. He chose someone with a pedigree. A perfect Luna with a name and lineage… unlike Soraya, whose origins no one could trace. Dragged back after trying to flee, Soraya is blamed for a murder she didn’t commit. The ritual meant to sever the bond instead shatters her wolf — and nearly kills her too. Barely alive, she escapes into the mountains… and straight into the arms of a rival Alpha whose touch sparks a second bond she should be incapable of forming. A bond that feels stronger than fate. Because Soraya is more than abandoned — she’s Luna-kissed, and the future of the shifter world responds to her heartbeat. But what happens when Lucien discovers she’s alive… and carrying the heir he never knew existed?
