Seven years as Luna of Blackwood Pack, and Sora was never truly chosen — only settled for. Her husband, Alpha Ethan, Mated her because fate forced his hand through the Bond. The she-wolf he truly loved came back, and one by one, Sora watched everything she had bled for get handed to someone else. Her place at his side. Her role as Luna. Even her own daughter. The night she walked away from the ashes of the Pack she had carried on her back for seven years, she made a promise to herself — never again. On the battlefield, the woman Blackwood Pack once pitied is unrecognizable. The wolfless, limping Luna who was never good enough has become a surgeon whose hands move like they were guided by the Moon Goddess herself. She has a new pack of her own making, a pup who needs her, and for the first time in her life — she is exactly where she is supposed to be. Then a wounded Alpha is carried into her operating table. Her Mate Bond roars back to life before she even sees his face. Ethan wants her back. So does the daughter who once screamed she'd rather have anyone else as a mother. The Pack that humiliated her is fracturing without its true Luna. And the Bond that Ethan spent seven years suppressing is now tearing him apart from the inside out. But Sora survived the fire. She survived rejection, betrayal, and a daughter who broke her heart in front of the entire Pack. Some men only realize what they had after they've watched it burn. The question is — is realizing it enough? Or is it already too late?
