When Lyra lost her brother at the age of nine, the pack placed the blame for his death squarely on her shoulders. They claimed her recklessness cost the Bloodmoon Pack its rightful Alpha heir. From that day forward, she was stripped of her title, exiled from the family she once belonged to, and forced into a life of utter submission. Demoted to less than an omega, Lyra became the pack's slave—catering to every demand and enduring the harshest punishments whenever she dared to defend herself. Just when she thought the Moon Goddess could not possibly hate her more, her eighteenth birthday arrived, and she discovered her fated mate wanted nothing to do with her. For years, Lyra endured relentless abuse at the hands of the Bloodmoon Pack. But when the day of the Mating Ceremony finally came, fate intervened in ways she never expected. Was this a second chance, or just another cruel twist from the Goddess? Or maybe—just maybe—it was the opportunity Lyra needed to finally break free from the prison her life had become.
