Rejected. Broken. Reborn. On her eighteenth birthday, Ivory Galloway found her fated mate—and watched him choose someone else. Gavin's rejection nearly destroyed her, leaving her with a shattered bond and a wounded heart. So she did the only thing she could: she ran. Ironclad Pack was supposed to be her fresh start. A place to train, to heal, to become strong enough that no one could break her again. What Ivory didn't expect was Raul Lexing—the dangerous, devastatingly attractive Beta who sees past her scars to the warrior she could become. Under his intense training, she discovers she's not just healing. She's awakening abilities that haven't surfaced in generations, power that marks her as something rare. Something extraordinary. But just as Ivory begins to feel whole again, her past comes crashing back. Gavin and his new mate are coming to Ironclad for six months. Six months of watching them together. Six months of reminders of everything she lost. Except now she's not the same broken girl Gavin rejected. She's stronger, fiercer, and falling dangerously hard for the one male who makes her believe she was never meant for Gavin in the first place. A male whose dark eyes promise both protection and passion—if she's brave enough to risk her heart again. Because some bonds are written by fate. But the strongest ones? Those are forged in fire

Tessa White has spent twenty-two years blending into the background of her pack. The daughter of the local drunk and the ghost of a woman long gone, she's learned to survive by being quiet, dutiful, and unseen. But when the Alpha King arrives to collect on a debt her father can't repay, Tessa's life changes with one cruel decision-she becomes the payment. Bound to a man feared by all, Tessa is thrust into a world of power, politics, and secrets. Her new role: wife to the cold, widowed King and tutor to his defiant teenage daughter. Her new fate: a gilded cage. Yet beneath the King's icy exterior lies a grief that mirrors her own. He lost his mate in childbirth; she never even met hers. Both were promised love by the Moon, and both were left with emptiness instead. As duty turns into understanding and tension ignites into forbidden warmth, the question lingers in the shadows of their bond- Can two souls broken by fate find healing in each other, or are they doomed to remain alone in this lifetime? "Sometimes the Moon doesn't give you what you want-she gives you what you need."
