There is no divorce.No escape.Only death can break the oath. Heartbroken and furious, Valentina refuses to accept her fate.

In the Crescent Moon Pack, Maya has always been the lowest Omega—invisible, worthless, and alone. But she wasn't born nothing. As a child, she saved Alpha Ian's life, earning a place in his home and growing up beside his twin sons, Caleb and Lucas. They were her protectors, her family. Caleb was her first love, her promised future. They vowed to stand together forever. Until Kate arrived. The scheming maid wormed her way into the pack, manipulating the brothers with tears and lies. She stole Maya's place, her room, and eventually Caleb's heart. When Maya confronted the betrayal, Caleb believed Kate over her—slapping her, cheating on her, and turning her into the villain. On her 18th birthday, the Moon Goddess reveals Maya as the fated mate to both alpha heirs. Disgusted by her weak Omega status, Caleb publicly rejects her and banishes her to the rogue-filled woods to die. Lucas stands silent. The brutal rejection doesn't kill her. It awakens an ancient silver power—a legendary Royal Wolf long thought extinct. Before she can escape, Lucas claims her as his mate and rises as Alpha.

He'll follow her to the ends of the earth, protect her at any cost, and fight for her heart—even if it means war with his own brother. Caleb watches the woman he discarded transform into a queen and desperately wants her back. He'll beg, scheme, and kill to reclaim her. But Maya is done being broken. As a mother and Alpha, she will never forgive those who betrayed her. Let the games of power, revenge, and fated desire begin.
