Lira Thane learned young what it meant to be nothing. Born wolfless into the powerful Ravencrest Pack, she grew up invisible, surviving on silence and low expectations. When the alpha heir Caelum Ravencrest recognized her as his fated mate and rejected her in front of the entire pack, she walked out with a scar on her wrist and no intention of ever letting anyone see her break. Two years later, she is still at the bottom. Still working the kitchens. Still covering the scar. Still pretending the phantom ache in her chest doesn't wake her at night. Then Soren Blackwood walks into the Claiming Moon uninvited. The most feared alpha in the Western Territories ignores every ranked wolf in the room and comes straight to her. He scents something in her blood that should not exist. Something ancient. Something dangerous. Something that makes her dead scar burn for the first time since the rejection. Now Lira is caught between the mate who threw her away and the monster who seems to know more about her than she knows about herself. The power waking inside her is tied to a bloodline the packs have every reason to fear, and the closer certain wolves get to her, the more that power responds. She was told she was nothing. She believed it for twenty one years. She was wrong. And by the time the wolves who broke her realize what they created, it will be far too late to stop her.
