She was rejected. Hunted. Left to die. Now she carries a secret that could destroy them all. Selene Nightshade thought she had found her forever until the night her mate, Alpha Damien Blackwood, shattered her world. Branded a traitor. Cast out while pregnant. Hunted like prey. No one believes the child is Damien’s, and to survive, Selene is forced to flee into the forbidden territory of Shadowcrest, a place whispered about in fear. There, she crosses paths with Killian ruthless, feared, and untouchable. A golden-eyed Alpha hiding a dangerous truth: he is the exiled Lycan King. A predator in a world of wolves. But Selene is no ordinary rogue. The child she carries is part of an ancient prophecy, a force powerful enough to change everything. And there are those who would kill to claim it. As war brews and enemies close in, Killian offers her protection but at a cost. Strength. Loyalty. Obedience. To survive, Selene must fight for her place, confront her past, and resist the magnetic pull of the one Alpha who could save her or utterly destroy her. Because in a world where mates betray and monsters wear crowns… falling for the wrong Alpha may be the most dangerous fate of all.
