Mali Tansanee’s world shatters when her mate, Kitsada, publicly rejects her at his mating ceremony—with her own sister. Once Luna of the clan and a proud Beta, Mali is stripped of her title, dignity, and home in one cruel moment. Left broken and betrayed, she’s banished from the life she helped build, the love she believed was eternal ripped from her grasp. But the Moon Goddess isn’t done with her yet. Sent on a diplomatic mission to form an alliance with the fearsome Alpha King of the Wounded Moon Clan, Mali’s path unexpectedly crosses with a powerful wolf who stirs something long buried inside her. He’s dominant, ruthless—and fate has chosen him as her second chance mate. As painful memories of Kitsada linger and her heart battles between old wounds and new bonds, Mali must decide if she can truly trust again. Can a woman so broken dare to hope for love a second time, especially when the one offering it rules with blood and fire? Or will this new connection burn her all over again?
