"You threw me into the snow seven years ago, Alpha Black. Did you really think I came back to warm your bed?" Damien backed her against the mahogany desk, his hands gripping the table on either side of her hips as his breath came short and uneven. "Tell me the girl with silver eyes isn't mine, Celine. Look me in the eye and tell me you gave my bloodline to another man." Celine didn't flinch. She adjusted the lapel of her tailored blazer, her fingers grazing his chest just long enough to make his pulse race before she shoved him away. "My daughter belongs to me," she whispered, her lips curving into a cold smile. "And the only thing you get to do in this room, Damien... is beg." Seven years ago, Alpha CEO Damien Black publicly severed their fated bond and banished nineteen year old Celine over a betrayal she didn't commit. He didn't know she was carrying his unborn pup. Now, his territory sits on the brink of financial collapse, and Celine has returned—gorgeous, untouchable, and holding enough capital to buy his lands out from under him. She isn't alone, either. Flanked by a seductive Lycan king who wants to place a crown on her head and a lethal rogue enforcer who guards her bedroom door, Celine has every intention of watching Damien grovel for his pack’s survival. Damien will bleed, kneel, and tear his own dynasty apart to win her back. But as dangerous enemies close in and buried secrets threaten their daughter’s life, Damien realizes his hardest battle isn't saving his lands. It's making his rejected mate look at him with desire and trust again instead of vengeance before one of the men at her side takes her away forever.

In the Crestfall Pack, power is everything, and Nora has none. Living as an unacknowledged outcast in the shadow of her elder sister, Beatrice—the strongest she-wolf of her generation and the favorite to become Luna, Nora survives by running the pack's logistics behind the scenes. Her only comfort is her long-standing, quiet bond with Caleb Hayes, the future Alpha, who carries the crushing weight of his pack's expectations.‎‎Everyone expects Caleb to claim Beatrice as his mate during the Blood Moon ceremony to secure a military alliance. But when the midnight moon reaches its peak, the sacred bond triggers—not between Caleb and Beatrice, but between Caleb and Nora. Caleb walks past the golden-child sister, claiming the neglected outcast in front of the entire assembled pack.‎‎Faced with a scandal that threatens internal war, Nora tries to push Caleb away to preserve his future. But as they are forced into close executive quarters, long-buried secrets about Nora's true lineage begin to surface. She is not the biological daughter of the Vane family, but the stolen heir of an extinct Royal Silver bloodline. With Beatrice waging psychological warfare and the senior council plotting treason, Caleb and Nora must navigate a agonizing political game where one wrong step will ruin them both.‎
