On the night of the Blood Moon Ceremony, my fated mate, the future Alpha, rejected me in front of the entire pack. Bleeding and humiliated, I walked away with nothing but my brother's hand in mine and a promise burning in my heart: I would become someone they regretted throwing away. Six months later, I'm the most feared healer in the neutral territories. Then my brother is captured, and I'm forced back to the pack that destroyed me. Waiting at the border is Castiel Oran, the man who rejected me, who shattered me, who has spent every day since searching for me. His rejection was a lie. He sacrificed everything to save me from an enemy I never knew existed. But the man rejected me to keep me safe, the beast inside him never accepted it. Now his wolf is feral, obsessed, and refuses to let me go. But I am not the broken omega they threw away. I am the Moonfall, and I will not surrender my dignity for anyone. He rejected me but the beast will never let me go. But when the Alpha and the Beast finally become one, will he claim me as his mate, or will my past destroy us both?

She refused to kneel. He refused to let her go. Their love could save the world, or destroy it. Avera Whithorne walked into a room full of vampires and told them all to go to hell. She wasn't supposed to survive. She wasn't supposed to matter. She was just a human, a forensic accountant with a sharp tongue, a missing sister, and absolutely no intention of bowing to monsters. But Lyndon Ashenford, the vampire king feared by even the oldest immortals, saw something in her that no one else did: fire. Bound by a dangerous deal, hunted by an ancient evil known only as the Shepherd, and caught in a prophecy that could end everything, Avera must navigate a world of blood and betrayal where every kiss could be a trap and every promise comes with a price. She's the Firstborn, the key to resurrecting the Primeval vampires or destroying them forever. He's the Ashen King, powerful enough to rule the supernatural world, possessive enough to burn it down for her. Their love is forbidden by ancient laws, dangerous to everyone around them, and prophesied to trigger the apocalypse. But some loves are worth burning for. Welcome to the Ashen Court. Try not to bleed.
