Lira has never shifted. Not once. Every wolf in her pack gets their wolf form the moment they come of age — she never did. So they call her weak. Broken. A waste of a bloodline. She's grown up being laughed at and looked down on, and she's stopped expecting anything different.Then the pack finds out she's the fated mate of Kael, their Alpha.Everyone expects him to claim her. Instead, in front of the whole pack, he rejects her. Calls her unworthy. Says he can't have someone like her standing beside him as Luna. It's the most humiliating moment of her life — and she doesn't beg, doesn't cry in front of them. She just looks at him and tells him he'll regret it.That night, something wakes up inside her.She starts having dreams that aren't dreams. Marks show up on her skin that weren't there before. Animals react to her differently. She realizes her whole life, she wasn't weak — she was sealed. Someone locked her real power away when she was a child, and the rejection just broke that seal open.Now she has to figure out who did this to her, and why they were so afraid of what she'd become.As her power grows, so does the danger. There's an old enemy out there that's been waiting for her bloodline to come back, and it wants her controlled or dead before she gets stronger. Kael, meanwhile, starts falling apart — turns out rejecting a fated mate has a cost, and it's eating away at him. He starts realizing his own family might be tangled up in who sealed her power in the first place.The story follows Lira as she stops needing anyone's approval and becomes someone the whole pack has to take seriously — while Kael has to prove, through actions and not apologies, that he's actually changed. It all builds to a war between packs, a choice Lira has to make about who she trusts, and a final twist that hints her power goes back further than anyone thought — setting things up for book two.

She infiltrated his world to destroy him. He let her in, knowing she was dangerous. Neither expected to fall. Elena Carter is a ghost. For three years, she's lived in the shadows as an undercover FBI agent, becoming whoever she needs to be to get the job done. Her latest mission? Infiltrate the Moretti crime empire and bring down its ruthless leader—Dante Moretti. The plan is simple: get close, gather evidence, disappear. But nothing about Dante Moretti is simple. When Elena witnesses a murder that puts a target on her back, she has nowhere left to run. The FBI can't protect her without blowing her cover. So she does the only thing that might keep her alive: She walks into Dante's world and asks the devil himself for protection. Dante Moretti built his empire on blood and betrayal. After watching his family be destroyed by lies, he swore he'd never trust anyone again. So when a mysterious woman shows up at his door with danger following her and secrets in her eyes, every instinct screams that she's hiding something. But he can't turn her away. As Elena embeds herself deeper into Dante's life, she discovers the truth she's been hunting isn't what she expected. Dante isn't the cold-blooded killer the FBI portrayed him to be—he's a man seeking justice for the same conspiracy that destroyed his family. And the real enemy? They've been hiding inside the very agency Elena serves. Now she's caught between two impossible choices: Complete her mission and destroy the man she's falling in love with—or betray everything she's sworn to protect and help him expose a corruption that goes deeper than either of them imagined. But when Dante discovers who Elena really is, their fragile trust shatters. Love becomes a weapon. Loyalty becomes a lie. And the truth they've been chasing could destroy them both. In a world built on deception, the most dangerous risk is falling in love.
