I was supposed to awaken beneath the full moon.Instead, I bled.At twenty, Kaia Vale is the shame of Silver Hollow Pack — moonless, wolfless, scentless, and unwanted by the Alpha father who should have protected her. When the sacred Moonstone refuses to call her wolf, Kaia is declared worthless and sentenced to the Temple of the Veiled Moon, where broken girls are taken and rarely return whole.Then the Lunar Alpha arrives.Aric Draven is feared across the northern packs — cold, ruthless, and cursed by a black wolf no one can control. He came to Silver Hollow to choose a bride. Everyone expects him to claim Kaia’s perfect sister.Instead, his wolf kneels to the girl with no wolf.Before the entire pack, the Moonstone splits open and reveals the truth Kaia was never meant to know:The moon did not forget her.It hid her.Claimed by a dangerous Alpha and taken to Draven Keep, Kaia is thrown into a world of court politics, jealous rivals, ancient blood laws, and secrets buried beneath the black moon. Her mother did not die the way she was told. Her father may not be her father. And the power sealed inside her may be the only thing strong enough to save Aric from the beast in his blood.Or destroy them both.But Aric’s protection is not mercy.His wolf wants her.His blood answers her.And the closer Kaia gets to the truth, the more she realizes why she was rejected from birth.She was not hidden because she was weak.She was hidden because her power was too dangerous to wake.
