She was born to rule. He was never meant to kneel. As the youngest Alpha Queen in pack history, Aurelia Nightborne rules through blood, discipline, and fear. Love is a weakness she buried with her parents’ bodies. Then she captures Kael Ravaryn—a rogue warlord rumored to have slaughtered entire packs under a blood moon. He should have been executed. Instead, the Moon binds them. A forbidden bond ignites between a queen sworn never to submit and a male who refuses to bow. As ancient laws awaken and enemies rise from the shadows, Aurelia must choose between her throne and the mate she was never meant to have. Because some bonds don’t unite lovers. They start wars.
