"Mate." One word. One second. One mistake cost Selene Stormfang her life. As a struggling medical student from a poor and forgotten werewolf family, Selene never imagined that the most powerful man in the werewolf world would become her fated mate. Lucien Knight is wealthy, feared, and destined to be Alpha King. He is everything she isn't. For a brief moment, she believes fate has finally chosen her. Then he dumps her. Publicly. Cruelly. The last thing she hears before her world darkens is the sound of her own heart breaking. Selene is believed to have died that night. She lets them. Years later, she returns as a doctor, with a stronger wolf, a new life, and a promise never to return to Lucien. But fate isn't done with them. When they meet at his engagement party, the man who once rejected her looks at her as if she's the only thing keeping him alive. "You should be dead." "And you should avoid me." However, staying away becomes impossible as long-buried secrets begin to surface. Selene is not the weak omega that she has been led to believe. Lucien's father's death was not an accident. A powerful priestess has been operating from the shadows. And an ancient evil imprisoned centuries ago is waiting to be freed with Selene's blood. As enemies close in and those they trust the most betray them, Selene and Lucien are forced to choose between love and war, fate and choice, and life or death. Because some bonds refuse to break. Some mistakes return hungry. In a world ruled by power, blood, and secrets, can a rejected mate become the Luna who will save everyone? Or will she be the one to ruin everything?
