Alpha Kieran replaces me before his entire council—and expects me to smile, surrender my Luna seal, and keep doing the work that holds his pack together. So I reject him. What Kieran forgot is an old law: an Alpha who strips his Luna of authority cannot keep her oath. As his borders fail and his allies turn on him, I leave with nothing but my wolf, my ledgers, and the truth he tried to bury. Then Caelan Rooke, the dangerous Lycan commander across the border, offers me a bargain. He does not want an obedient mate. He wants the strategist Kieran never saw. My ex says the Moon Goddess made me his. Caelan says the choice is mine. This time, fate does not get the final word.
