Twenty-three without a wolf in a pack that worshipped power. The night of the Bloodshade mating ceremony, the Alpha rejected me in front of everyone. He called me unworthy. A mistake. Then he chose my stepsister instead, sealing my humiliation with cheers and laughter. I left the pack broken, but never even made it home. Stabbed me in the woods and left to bleed out, certain I wouldn’t survive the night. What they didn’t know was that death would finally wake what they’d spent years trying to bury. My wolf. Silver. Ancient. Rare enough to be feared. When I returned to Bloodshade, I wasn’t the girl they pitied anymore. I was something they couldn’t control, couldn’t silence, couldn’t kill. And the man they’d locked away as a monster, the Alpha they tried to erase, stood beside me. Rowan Bloodshade was feral, cursed, and forbidden. He was also my mate. The Alpha who rejected me suddenly wanted me back. The pack elders wanted my power, and the same family that tried to kill me suddenly acted like nothing happened. But I didn’t come back for forgiveness, I was back for revenge, and I was going to make everyone of them pay.
