I was raised on one rule, a rule that says— never let a pack scent me twice. For nine years I broke it a hundred times over and got away with every one — running contraband medicine through rogue territory, staying invisible, staying alive, staying far away from the Alpha whose enforcers hunted people like me for sport. Then his eyes found mine across a burning campsite, and every rule I'd built my life on turned to ash. Mate. He didn't want it. I didn't want it. His pack executes rogues at the border — and yet Callahan Ashgrove looked at the weapon in his own hand and chose to lower it instead. That should have been the end of it. A mercy. A mistake. Something we both walked away from. Instead he brought me inside pack walls he's supposed to guard with his life, and every night I stay is a night closer to the secret sewn into the lining of my coat — a pendant I was forbidden to ever remove, a bloodline his own father was locked away for slaughtering, and a name that makes every Alpha in the region look at me like I'm either a prize or a threat. "Whose claim are you honoring — the treaty, or the bond?" the rival Alpha asked him, dropping a marriage contract on the table with my name on it. A name I didn't even know I had. Cal didn't answer with words. He answered by pulling me behind him and telling an entire room of Alphas that I belonged to no one's treaty but his. But treaties aren't the only thing coming for me. His father is out. He doesn't want me dead anymore — he wants the bloodline in my blood bonded permanently into his son, whether either of us consents to it or not. I spent my whole life running from packs. Now I'm about to become the reason two of them go to war — and the only thing standing between me and a forced claim I never agreed to is an Alpha who swore he'd never let himself feel a mate bond at all. He's about to break that promise in front of everyone.

Blurb: She was born to be Luna. Perfect. Obedient. Silent in her suffering. When her mate refuses to mark her, her wolf falls into hibernation and her body begins to rot from the inside. Given one year to live, she does the unthinkable. She asks him to reject her and set her free. But the man who broke her will not let her go. Preparing for the Alpha King election, he claims rejecting her would damage his image. Her illness is dismissed as manipulation. Her pain becomes invisible. So she changes. She shatters the perfect Luna image. She becomes sharp when she is soft. Reckless where she was obedient. Cold where she once loved too deeply. If he will not free her, she will make him hate her. And when regret finally comes for him, it will be too late.
