For nine years, I gave Alpha Lucian everything, my loyalty, my healing power, and every piece of myself. On the night he was supposed to renew our bond, he seated his pregnant mistress beside his throne and announced that the Moon had chosen Greymark a more worthy Luna. Then he ordered the Moon Tribunal to sever me from him. Rejected Lunas rarely survive. But when the ritual blade touched my mark, I saw the truth: our sacred golden bond was wrapped in a black chain, secretly draining my power into Lucian. So I cut it myself. I should have died. Instead, I awakened the wolf that had been silenced inside me and broke the first seal imprisoning the last Wolfborn King. Now Lucian’s stolen strength is failing. The Tribunal wants me eliminated before I expose its darkest secret. And the ancient king I accidentally freed claims that my blood is the key to restoring his fallen realm. He is ruthless, powerful, and far too interested in the woman everyone else discarded. I escaped one bond that nearly destroyed me. I refuse to surrender to another. But as war closes around us and desire turns into something far more dangerous, I must decide whether the Wolfborn King is my salvation, my downfall or the only man strong enough to kneel beside the queen I was always meant to become.
