“She lost her mate to her sister. Now she might lose her soul to his brother.” Aria thought the mate bond would save her. Instead, the night before her ceremony, she found her sister in bed with Damien—the Alpha she had prayed would be hers. The next night, in front of the entire pack, Damien crushed her completely. He rejected Aria publicly and crowned her sister as his Luna. Shattered and betrayed, Aria fled into the wilds—straight into the arms of Luciano, Damien’s exiled half-brother and sworn enemy. Once the rightful heir, Luciano was framed for their sister’s death and banished. Now he rules the rogue underworld like a ruthless king. And he wants Aria—not for love, but as a weapon to break Damien. But Aria is no pawn. As the truth of Damien’s bloody rise to power unravels, and as Luciano’s obsession burns hotter than revenge, Aria discovers a power in her bloodline that could destroy them both. Rejected by one Alpha. Desired by another. Aria must rise from humiliation and betrayal to claim her destiny— Not as Luna. Not as mate. But as the Queen wolves were never meant to kneel.
