I found Kael Draven bleeding in a ditch meant for the dead. He was a hunted Alpha heir; I was a wolf-less healer no great pack would claim. I hid him, healed him, and risked everything to help him win back Blackridge. In return, he promised I would stand beside him as his Luna. But the moment Kael gained his crown, I became the shame he needed to erase. He denied our bond, chose a highborn bride, and sent me falling into Moonfall Gorge. I should have died. Instead, I was rescued by Lucian Thorne—the feared Lycan King whose wolf recognizes something impossible in me. Under his protection, my buried power begins to wake, along with a dangerous attraction neither of us can ignore. Now Blackridge believes I am dead. Kael believes he is free. And when he lifts the veil of the royal bride he hopes will secure his throne, he will finally see the woman he failed to kill.
