A human girl. A war-born Alpha. A bond that smells like death. When Lyra Vale witnesses the ruthless Darius Blackthorn execute a traitor under the Blood Moon, she becomes his captive. But she isn't just a witness; she is his fated mate. As the pack prepares for war, an ancient prophecy begins to bleed into reality. Lyra isn't the Luna they expected-she carries a forbidden bloodline that could devour the werewolf world. Can Darius protect the woman he desires from the monster living inside her, or will his devotion trigger the end of everything?
