"Permanently. An Omega freak will never be my Luna.” ***** In front of the entire Ashborne Pack, Sera Coldwell is publicly humiliated, stripped of her status, and condemned to exile. To everyone around her, she is nothing more than a wolfless Omega the Alpha was right to discard. They are wrong. Sera is the last living heir to the ancient Silver Wolf bloodline: a forgotten lineage tied to laws the packs buried long ago. And Caius’s rejection was never properly completed. Now, as political alliances close around Ashborne and rival Alpha Dante Ashford offers Sera sanctuary, hidden records begin surfacing that could invalidate everything the Voss family has built. Meanwhile, the broken mate bond is doing something it was never supposed to do. Caius cannot sleep. Cannot think. Cannot stay away from the woman he rejected. With every passing day, his wolf grows more unstable — and if the bond fully turns against him, the damage may become irreversible. They cast Sera out believing she was powerless. They never realized she was the crack in the foundation. "Go read the unredacted archives, Alpha. I'm coming home to strip your vaults."
