He is the Alpha sworn to protect his pack. She is the hybrid born to shatter bloodlines. Fate never asked for their permission. In the shadowed depths of Veilwood Forest, Alpha Kael Thorne senses a disturbance, a scent that is not quite vampire, not quite wolf, and unlike anything he’s known. When he captures a mysterious intruder beneath a fractured moon, everything he believes about loyalty, blood, and destiny begins to unravel. Seraphine Duskmoor has spent her life hiding from hunters, from her heritage, and from the prophecy etched into her blood. Half vampire, half werewolf, she is an abomination to both worlds. But when Kael discovers she is his fated mate, centuries of peace begin to crack. As ancient power is awakened and forbidden desire ignites, Kael must choose between the laws that bind him and the bond that could destroy them both. In a world where love is a weapon and secrets bleed power, can two enemies rewrite fate under the blood-stained moon?
