Lyra Thorne discovers her mate on her twentieth birthday and loses him on the same day. Rejected in front of her entire pack by her mate, Dylan Ashbourne —her Alpha’s son and the future Alpha of her pack— Lyra is left to deal with the humiliation and pain alone. As an omega and orphan, Lyra has no one to run to and no one to confide in. Until she meets Xavier Voss. Xavier is one of the most feared wolves in the region. He is not a man who accepts weakness and he is especially not a man who would ask for help but the mate bond rejection has left him vulnerable in ways he can’t afford to be. Xavier needs a Luna and Lyra needs an escape. He presents Lyra with a deal. As the bond between them deepens, secrets buried long before Lyra was born threaten to ruin her new found happiness as the people who buried them resurface in her life. Lyra was rejected and then she was chosen. Now she has to fight for the life she deserves.
