They say Alpha Kaelen Vance, the billionaire CEO and leader of the ruthless Shadowmoon Pack, is a man carved from ice and shadow. Since the death of his first mate, his heart has been a frozen wasteland. Elara is an Omega, a nobody, born to be invisible. When the Moon Goddess declares her, a weakling, as the Alpha's second fated mate, the entire pack expects her to be the cure for their broken leader. But Kaelen does the unthinkable. In front of everyone, he rejects her. Humiliated and shattered, Elara is ready to fade into the darkness. But an ancient pact, a forgotten threat, and a desperate need for a pack heir force the cold Alpha's hand. He can’t accept her as his mate, but he will bind her to him with a contract. She is to be his chosen bride, his public queen, but his private nothing. A vessel for an heir and a pawn in his power games. He vows to never touch her, never feel for her, never be the mate she deserves. But Kaelen doesn't know Elara's secret—a fire that slumbers in her blood. And when you cage a flame, it doesn't die. It grows, waiting for the perfect moment to burn the whole world down. And his frozen heart will be the first thing to catch fire.
