Selene Blackthorne’s world crumbles the night her fated mate rejects her, casting her out of the only pack she’s ever known. Stripped of her place, her future, and her heart, she becomes prey—alone, broken, and hunted. But destiny doesn’t abandon her. In the wilds, Selene collides with Ronan, a rogue alpha feared for his brutal past and untamed power. Their meeting ignites an impossible second bond—dangerous, consuming, and inescapable. He could be her salvation or the end of everything she has left. As enemies close in and whispers of an ancient prophecy awaken, Selene discovers a strength inside her that even she doesn’t understand. She may hold the key to ending a centuries-old war, but claiming her power means risking everything—her freedom, her heart, and her life. Torn between fate and choice, trust and betrayal, Selene must decide: will she rise from the ashes of rejection, or be destroyed by the bond she cannot break?
