"I, Alpha Brandon of the Bloodmoon Pack, publicly reject you, Ayla Mae, as my mate and remove you from the title of Luna." Born without a wolf form, Ayla spent three agonizing years as the pack's abused charity Luna, bound by a deathbed decree to a husband who loathed her existence. When Alpha Brandon publicly discards her at his coronation for an elite high-wolf, Ayla's world shatters on the marble floor. Banished to the deadly, forbidden Savage Mountains, she is left with nothing but her bleeding wounds and the howling wind. Everyone expects her to die out there alone in the dark. But as the forced mate bond snaps, something else violently wakes up deep within her chest. A terrifying, ancient power that should not exist in a wolfless maid. What did the Bloodmoon Pack actually discard? And what did she feel?
