Twenty-one-year-old Aria Veyra is unlike any other werewolf in the Northern Pack. For one, she was born with silver eyes on the night of the Blood Moon. For another, she's an Omega with forbidden blood that the elders claim is cursed. So now she doesn't quite belong anywhere. Not quite accepted by the pack, and not quite free to live her own life. She thought she could survive by staying invisible. Work her job, keep her head down, avoid the whispers and the stares. But what is she to do when the Moon Goddess gives her the one man she never wanted to meet the ruthless Alpha King? Kael Draven is dangerously powerful, the kind of Alpha who commands respect with just a look. The elders are pressuring him to find a mate to secure his bloodline. He doesn't want a mate. He doesn't believe in fate. But when he meets Aria, his wolf recognizes her instantly. The prophecy is clear: if he claims her, his bloodline will die within a year. Before the entire pack, he rejects her. The crowd cheers his noble sacrifice. Aria walks away without begging. But then something impossible happens. The mate mark on Kael's neck doesn't fade. It burns with white fire. His wolf screams in agony. And the High Oracle drops to his knees, his face pale with terror. "The Moon... refuses the rejection." Now Kael is fighting a war inside his own mind, and Aria holds a secret that could change everything. But she doesn't know that yet. She's walking alone through the forest, trying to escape the pain of the broken bond. That's when a massive silver wolf emerges from the darkness. He's unlike any werewolf she's ever seen. Ancient. Powerful. Impossibly still. Slowly, the giant creature lowers himself to one knee. Then both. He bows until his forehead touches the earth before her. "Who are you?" Aria whispers. The being's voice echoes in her mind: "Your Majesty." When these two meet again, sparks will surely fly. But will it be from passion, or their constant fighting? Neither of them wanted this. Neither of them can escape what the Moon has planned. And neither of them knows that Aria's rejection has awakened something ancient, something that has been waiting for her.
