Nadia was born without a wolf. In Mooncrest, that makes her an abomination and abominations don't survive past eighteen. She's the daughter of one of the pack's most decorated warriors and mate to the future Alpha, but on the eve of her birthday, Reid Mercer rejects the bond and sends her to the same stake built for every wolfless wolf before her. Her parents die buying her a head start; she survives on grief until Nikolai, a rogue with a bloodline no one was supposed to remember, pulls her from the wreckage. Then her wolf finally comes: blood-red, impossible, and exactly what Reid's family has spent generations hunting wolfless wolves to prevent. Now every pack wants her — as a weapon, a savior, or a corpse. Reid wants his property back. Nikolai just wants her alive. And Nadia is done being anyone's victim. They burned wolfless girls to stop a prophecy; they should have been more afraid of the one who survived.

“I don't understand,” I tell Viktor, desperately. “I don't know why the bond is still there. I accepted his rejection, I don't want him, I want you. Whatever yearnings you saw between us, is not by choice. You are my mate. I choose you.” “Then why is the bind still present?” he snaps as he turns from me. “I don't know! And frankly, I don't care! I haven't cared or thought about Dominic in nearly a decade. How can I prove that you are the one I love?” I ask as I take hold of his hands, hoping that he sees my sincerity. “Have the ceremony with me.” “What?!” “The mating ceremony, where we bind ourselves to each other. Let's do it. That is the only way I can relax. Be mine. Truly, mine.” Rowan Blaze, abused and maltreated in her former pack and after being rejected and left to die by her Alpha finds a second chance as a rogue. Now known as the Winter Wolf, and leader of the largest rogue coalition, with a renowned dislike for packs, fate offers her another chance at love in the form of Alpha Viktor Thorn, a renowned man known for his wicked intelligence and stubborn persona. How do these two stubborn individuals react to this opportunity? Are they capable of letting their walls down and giving life one more chance? And what of Dominic Valor? Is he capable of letting go of his rejected mate or would he do anything to right the wrong he made years ago?
