I buried one prince. The kingdom handed me his brother instead. Adrien de Valmonde was supposed to be my safe choice. A kind crown, a kind life, nothing to survive. Then he died in the woods on a hunt everyone is too afraid to call murder, and the throne needed a new heir, fast. So they gave me Gabriel. Cold. Controlling. The brother who carried me away from the body and hasn't stopped looking at me like I'm already his since. The court whispers he wanted me first. I'm starting to think they're right, and that he hates himself for it almost as much as I hate myself for wanting him back. Someone in this palace poisoned a prince and is patient enough to wait for the next one. I married my way into the conspiracy to find out who. I didn't plan on falling for the man I'm supposed to suspect. The crown isn't the only thing he's not letting go of.

I thought the Moon Goddess had given me everything. A fated mate. A future. A crown as Luna of the most powerful pack in the region. Then I found my mate in bed with my sister. In a single night, my heart shattered, my bond cracked, and the two people I trusted most betrayed me. They thought I would cry. They thought I would forgive. They were wrong. If Ethan Thorn wanted my sister, then he could have her. But I was going to take something he could never replace. His father. Alpha Damien Thorn. The ruthless Alpha King. The man every wolf fears. The man who has lived alone since his mate abandoned him years ago. Getting close to him was supposed to be revenge. A game. A way to make my ex watch as I became untouchable. But the more time I spend with Damien, the more I realize he isn't the cold monster everyone believes him to be. And the more dangerous truth begins to emerge. Because Damien has been watching me for years. Protecting me from the shadows. Waiting. And now that I'm no longer Ethan's... He's done waiting. When secrets buried by the Moon Goddess come to light, I'll have to choose between the future I lost and the Alpha who was never supposed to be mine. But some bonds are stronger than fate. And some Alphas never let go.
