They broke her in public. They left her to die in silence. Elara Ashford was once a Luna until betrayal stole her title, her unborn child, and her worth. Branded a disgrace by the Ashenfall Pack, she is whipped, discarded, and abandoned beyond the borders like a curse no one wants to claim. She survives. Rescued by Kael Blackthorn, the Mad Alpha of the feared Blackmoor Pack, Elara steps into a world ruled by strength, blood, and brutal truth. Kael is cursed to become a monster under the full moon, feared even by his own people. He offers her no mercy, only a condition: earn your place or leave. A fake marriage binds them. Power games follow. Desire ignites where strategy was meant to rule. As Elara’s dormant wolf awakens, her scent drives the pack to madness and makes her the only one capable of anchoring Kael’s curse. What began as survival turns into revenge as the pack that destroyed her begins to fall from within. But when a devastating truth from Kael’s past surfaces, Elara must choose: walk away from the man she loves or claim her throne beside him. She was rejected once. She will never kneel again.
