“If I did not find m…my mate,” Ace gasped, his voice breaking apart. “I can’t st…sto… stop the massc…” His words dissolved as his body gave out and he fainted. Scarlett leaned closer, trying to catch whatever final truth he was trying to spill. But only low, painful moans escaped him with the dagger still pierced his heart, driven there by none other than Scarlett herself. For the last eight years, Scarlett Hale lived for one thing only: revenge. She didn’t know why her pack was burned alive. All she knew was that the Frostfall Pack destroyed her family and left her to die beside the ashes of her parents. Hidden among humans with her aunt, Scarlett spent years waiting for her wolf to awaken so she could finally avenge the Blood Moon Pack. But fate had other plans for her. On the night of her first shift, Scarlett saved an injured stranger deep inside the forest during a brutal ambush. The moment she touched him, the mate bond snapped into place. Ace Craige. Alpha of the Frostfall Pack. The man she believed murdered her family. Terrified that the bond would ruin everything, Scarlett’s aunt gives her a forbidden relic known as the Moonbane Stone. A rare stone capable of blocking the mate bond and hiding her scent from her fated mate. Using a false identity, Scarlett enters Frostfall territory with one goal, which is to get close to Ace Craige and destroy him from within. But the more time she spends near him, the more her hatred begins to crack. Ace is nothing like the monster she imagined. And while Scarlett struggles against the mate bond, terrifying events begin spreading across the werewolf world. Then the old prophecy finally spreads across every pack once again. And if the prophecy is true… Scarlett Hale may not be the savior of the werewolf world. She may be the beginning of its destruction.
