I was the Luna who was forgotten. The mate who was replaced. The woman who gave everything… and received nothing. Aria Valen believed finding her mate meant finding her forever. When she bonded with Alpha Kael Draven, she thought the Moon Goddess had finally chosen her. She was ready to stand beside him, heal his wounds, protect his pack, and love him until her last breath. But forever ended the moment another woman entered their home. When Kael’s brother’s widow arrived with her young pup, Aria opened her heart and welcomed them. She never imagined that her kindness would become the reason she lost everything. Slowly, she became a ghost in her own home. Her mate’s attention belonged to another woman. Her pack’s loyalty shifted. Her place as Luna faded. And the man who once promised she was his destiny became the man who destroyed her. When Kael finally chooses another Luna, Aria stops begging for the love she once deserved. She leaves. Broken. Silent. Carrying a secret that could change the fate of every wolf kingdom. But the Moon Goddess was not taking everything from her. She was preparing her for something greater. Deep within the forbidden lands waits the most feared creature alive. The Lycan King. Lucian Vareth. Cursed. Ruthless. Untouchable. A king who has conquered kingdoms but lost the ability to feel. For centuries, darkness has lived inside him, turning him into the monster the world fears. Until he finds her. A wounded wolf standing beneath the moonlight. A woman abandoned by the one person who swore to protect her. A woman whose broken heart calls to the darkness inside him. Lucian was supposed to be her nightmare. Instead, he becomes the first person who truly sees her. He does not care about her rank. He does not care about the bloodline she lacks. He does not care that another man threw her away. He only knows one truth. She is his mate. And Lucian Vareth does not surrender what belongs to him. But Aria soon discovers the Lycan King carries a secret more dangerous than his reputation. An ancient curse binds his soul. A forgotten prophecy speaks of a blessed Luna who can either save him… or bring about his destruction. To break his curse, Lucian needs the one person he cannot afford to lose. Her. But Aria has already lived inside one cage. She refuses to become trapped in another—even if the cage is made of gold and guarded by a king who looks at her like she is the only light in his endless darkness. Because Lucian’s love is powerful. Possessive. Dangerous. And the closer she gets to him, the harder it becomes to tell the difference between salvation and obsession. Three years later, the woman who was once abandoned has become the realm’s greatest surgeon. Powerful. Respected. Unreachable. Until the past returns. The Alpha who broke her arrives at her clinic, no longer standing tall as a ruler. He is on his knees. Begging for forgiveness. Begging for the woman he once discarded. But Aria is no longer the girl who waited for him. She no longer dreams of being chosen. Because she has already been claimed by something far more dangerous. A king. A monster. A man cursed to destroy everything… except her. He lost her because he chose another. He found her after she became untouchable. But the Lycan King will burn the world before he lets her be taken away. She was once the forgotten Luna. Now she is the woman powerful enough to break a king’s curse. Her revenge will be sweet. Her rise will be legendary. And her love will awaken the beast inside the Lycan King.
