He rejected her before the entire court. Now the whole kingdom wants her. Aurelia Veyne was born powerless, unable to shift, and marked with a silver brand she was forbidden to show. All she wanted was to be chosen. Then the Moon Goddess gave her a mate: Cassian Valerius, the Alpha King. One look at her mark, and he rejected her. Aurelia ran, but the king locked every door to keep her in. She escaped anyway, and Alpha Evander Blackthorn named her the Lost Queen, the last heir of a bloodline the crown killed to bury. Now the king who broke her heart can't stay away. The bond he tried to destroy won't die. And her mother's last letter says he was there the night the Veyne line burned. Revenge or the crown? Love or the truth?
