Della was never meant to be Luna. Chosen by Twinlight’s elders to enter a contract marriage with Alpha Ian, she was only a substitute a temporary Luna meant to keep the throne warm until Ian’s true love, Stacy, returned. No love. No claim. No heir. For two years, Della plays her role perfectly… until she discovers she is pregnant. On the same night Stacy reappears to reclaim her place, Della realizes the truth: her child is a violation of pack law, and the elders will not allow it to live. With no one to trust not even the man she has quietly fallen for she runs. Rescued by a rival Alpha and forced into a dangerous alliance, Della becomes the center of a growing storm. As whispers spread of a forbidden Omega carrying a powerful heir, the elders move to silence her forever. Now Ian must choose between obedience to tradition or defiance for the woman he was never meant to love. But some contracts were never meant to be honored. And some Lunas were never meant to be temporary
