"I, Alpha Jaxon, reject this bond. The Moon Goddess has made a mistake."In the Stonefang Pack, strength is everything. So when the sacred moonlight of the Mating Ceremony chooses Lyra—a lowly, nameless Omega—to be the fated mate of the most powerful Alpha in the north, the pack is horrified. To Jaxon, Lyra isn't a gift; she is a liability.Driven by a dark prophecy and the silver-tongued manipulations of his Elders, Jaxon commits the ultimate blasphemy: he publicly shatters the fated bond, branding Lyra a divine error and casting her out into the cold.Broken and hunted, Lyra flees into the forbidden neutral woods, expecting to find death. Instead, she is claimed by Alpha Devel, the "Shadow Alpha" of the rival Whisperwind Pack. A man feared by his own warriors, Devel sees past Lyra’s Omega status to a power that has been suppressed for a lifetime.As the secret of Lyra's bloodline is revealed, the world discovers she was never an Omega. She is a dormant Alpha Queen, the only one capable of uniting the warring packs against an approaching darkness.Now, Jaxon realizes his catastrophic mistake. He will do anything to get his mate back—but the Queen he rejected has already found her throne, and a new Alpha who will never let her go.Rejection was her beginning. Power will be her revenge.
