Moonmarked: The Luna He Hated —Alpha Kael Ashford is dying by inches. His wolf is spiraling into an uncontrollable rage that only a true mate-bond can calm — and he's searched for years, checking hundreds of girls for the crescent moon mark that would mark his fated Luna, with no luck. Desperate, he agrees to marry Selene Voss, a woman from a powerful bloodline who seems, against all odds, to soothe his wolf.What he doesn't know is that Selene has no mark at all — she's been secretly drugging him with a forbidden binding herb to fake the bond and secure her place as Luna. And the real bearer of the crescent mark has been living under his own roof for six years: Ivy Marlowe, a kitchen servant Kael has despised ever since a childhood misunderstanding left him wrongly convinced she'd sabotaged his claim to the Alpha seat. Selene, aware of the truth from the start, has spent years quietly tormenting and hiding Ivy to protect her own lie.Everything unravels at Kael and Selene's engagement ball, when a torn collar accidentally exposes Ivy's mark in front of him — and for the first time in years, his rage goes silent. Forced to confront the truth, Kael must face what his cruelty has cost Ivy, expose Selene's deception to the pack, and earn the trust of the woman he wronged for six years before he can finally claim the bond that was his all along.A slow-burn fated-mate romance about misjudgment, manipulation, and the mate you almost missed because you were too busy hating her.
