Clara always thought meeting her fated mate would be the best thing that ever happened to her. Instead, it feels like a nightmare. At just eighteen, she stands in the center of the Bloodmoon Pack, and Alpha Logan—the cold, feared leader everyone obeys—rejects her, right in front of everyone. He picks her gorgeous but vicious step-sister as his Luna instead. Humiliated and tossed out like she’s nothing, Clara runs. She’s got nothing now but a bruised heart and a secret that could gut the pack from the inside out: she’s pregnant with Logan’s forbidden child. Four years go by. Clara builds a quiet life for herself and her daughter in the territory of a rival pack. She keeps her head down and her heart sealed off. But then war hits, and suddenly, Logan shows up at her doorstep, chasing an enemy…and catches her scent. He sees the child with his eyes and instantly claims her, demanding Clara come back to his side—if only to get his heir. But Clara isn’t that frightened girl anymore. The sting of Logan’s rejection still haunts her, but now she has power of her own. So, she has a choice: let him take her again and obey, or rise up and use the strength she’s found to bring him and his pack to their knees.
