Bella has spent her entire life chasing a dream most think is beyond her reach—to become a warrior like her late father. But without a wolf, she’s a step behind everyone else. Still, she refuses to give up. Everything changes the night she visits Moonveil Temple, the sacred ground where she feels closest to her parents. There, under a silver sky, she shifts for the first time—triggered by a violent encounter between a rogue and a black wolf larger and more powerful than any she’s seen. Days later, she learns the truth: the wolf is none other than the Alpha’s estranged son, back after vanishing five years ago. When the council announces plans to demolish the temple grounds for Hollow’s Dip’s expansion, Bella’s world threatens to fall apart. The temple is the only place she’s ever been able to shift. Desperate, she turns to Kane— the influential leader overseeing the expansion —for mercy. He agrees, but only if she decides to marry him. But Kane isn’t the one with the final say. The land, the temple, and Bella’s fate all belong to the man she unknowingly shares a bond with. Her mate. A man keeping that truth from her for reasons of his own. Now, caught between loyalty, survival, and a love that may never be claimed, Bella must decide what she’s willing to risk—and who she truly is.
