Luna never expected a simple trip to the market to change her life forever. A college student living in an orphanage, Luna had learned to survive quietly. Gentle, innocent, and used to putting others before herself, she was grateful for every little kindness life gave her. But on the night she was sent by her caregiver to buy supplies, everything changed. Walking home alone with a small bag pressed against her chest, the rain began to fall. Her thin clothes became soaked, her body grew weak, and the empty streets offered her no shelter. She didn't know that fate was already searching for her. Alex Black, the feared Alpha of the Black Moon Pack, had spent the day handling business negotiations and matters that required his ruthless side. Sitting in his car with his Beta, he expected nothing more than a quiet journey home. Until his wolf awakened. A scent unlike anything he had ever known filled the air. His mate. The girl standing alone in the rain was the last person Alex expected fate to choose. She was fragile where he was powerful. Soft where he was cold. A girl who had spent her entire life being forgotten was suddenly the only person his wolf would ever accept. For the first time, Alex felt something he could not control — the need to protect someone. Luna feared the dangerous Alpha who had entered her life. Alex feared the feelings growing inside him. She had never known what it meant to be protected. He had never known what it meant to need someone. But the moon had already decided. The Alpha had found his Luna.
