She thought the mate bond was destiny. The pack called it a sin. When Lyra Hale returns home for her father’s funeral, she expects grief. Instead, the Moon Goddess brands her with the one man she can never have Damian Veylor, her father’s Beta turned Alpha, the man who raised and protected her. The bond is undeniable. It is also forbidden by pack law. To claim him is to risk execution. To deny him is to lose herself. As rival packs circle and betrayal strikes from within, Lyra and Damian must choose between love and survival. On the night of the Blood Moon, they will either shatter under the weight of tradition or burn the world to rule together.
