Aria Larkwood was never meant to be strong. Born without a wolf and marked by a strange moon scar, she grows up as the pack’s quiet mistake—tolerated, pitied, and blamed whenever something goes wrong. When her childhood bondmate, Alpha Rowan, publicly rejects her for another woman, Aria’s world shatters in front of the entire pack. Humiliated, stripped of status, and accused of bringing misfortune, she is cast out beyond the borders with nothing but the clothes on her back. Left to survive alone, Aria discovers the truth she was never meant to learn: her wolf was never missing—only sealed. And the life stolen from her may still be reclaimed. As old wounds reopen and hidden strength begins to surface, Aria is given something she never expected… A second chance. But some packs don’t forgive the wolves they once broke—and not everyone wants her to rise again.
