Layla once believed she was chosen for a fairytale. As Luna of the powerful Moonfang Pack, she should have been cherished, protected, honored. Instead, every day is a battle to hide the bruises, silence the whispers, and endure the cruelty of the mate who promised her forever. When Alpha Damian Blackthorn arrives, rival and enemy to her pack, Layla expects only more danger. But one look is enough for him to see the truth she has buried beneath silence and scars. Where others turn away, he refuses to. Where Marcus seeks to break her, Damian swears he will not let her fall. Torn between fear and the spark of forbidden hope, Layla faces a choice that could ignite war: remain bound to a tyrant or risk everything for freedom — and for the Alpha who promises not to start wars, but to finish them. A story of broken bonds, dangerous loyalties, and a love strong enough to defy the darkness.
