Nyra Voss waited eighteen years to belong. On the night she finally awakens her wolf, she finds her mate—the Alpha. That should have changed everything. Instead, he looks at her and calls her a curse. Rejected before the entire pack and marked for death, Nyra is forced to run into a forest that does not forgive weakness. But the girl they cast aside does not stay broken for long. Because something awakens inside her that night. Something violent. Something ancient. Something that answers pain with power. Now hunted by her own pack and bound to the man who destroyed her, Nyra quickly learns that survival is no longer enough. If she wants to live, she must become stronger. If she wants control, she must master what is waking inside her. And if the Alpha crosses her path again, she won’t be the girl he rejected. She will be the consequence.
