Evelyn has always known her place in the pack — at the bottom. No wolf. No power. Just a convenient target whenever someone needs a joke. Being forced to marry the future Alpha is supposed to fix that. Instead, he turns their wedding into a spectacle, rejecting her in front of everyone and making sure she hears every cruel word. The rejection should have snapped the bond. It doesn’t. The mate mark burns into her skin anyway, tying her for life to the man who humiliated her. Now Damon wants to keep her in the shadows as his dirty little secret while the pack expects her to smile, bow her head and be grateful she’s still breathing. They all think she’ll break. Evelyn is done breaking. If he wants a Luna, he will have to earn her. If the pack wants her obedience, they will learn exactly what they created when they decided she was worthless.
