He threw her away. Fate handed her a throne… She was born without claws sharp enough for their world. Lyra Ashwood spent eighteen years being called the weakest wolf in Blackridge Pack…too small, too quiet, too ordinary to matter. But on the night of her birthday, the Moon Goddess delivers a cruel joke: her fated mate is Damien Cross, the ruthless Alpha who once made her kneel in the dirt just to prove a point. He doesn't even let the moment breathe. In front of five hundred witnesses, under a full moon that should have been sacred, Damien rejects her for Selene…beautiful, powerful, and everything Lyra is not. The bond shatters like glass. Lyra runs into the dark forest with nothing but a broken soul and a secret she doesn't yet know she's carrying. Five years later, the gates of Blackridge Pack splinter open. She rides in not as the girl they discarded, but as Luna Lyra, Queen of the Silver Hollow, commander of the most feared pack on the continent, mother of a little boy with his father's silver eyes. Damien Cross is about to learn that the Moon never wastes her gifts. She just delays them.
