Bella Maro

Sierra Greywood has waited four years for formal recognition of the sacred mate bond with Dominic Silvercloud, formidable Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack. Their Recognition Ceremony night was supposed to shine as they stepped into each other's souls. Instead, Dominic publicly rejects her for political alliance, breaking her heart and forcing her exile from her only family. Forced into exile with strange new rejection-awakened power, Sierra builds new life and a pack of misfits and outcasts. She becomes adept at skills no werewolf has accessed in centuries, attracting enemies and allies alike. Sierra doesn't understand that Dominic's cold rejection comes from a desperate need to protect her. Dark forces are stirring in the shadows, manipulating pack against pack and mate against mate. A centuries-old enemy has noticed Sierra and covets her rare powers, and Dominic's decision only delays the fated confrontation. When ancient evil threatens every werewolf's existence, Sierra and Dominic must wrestle with a fractured bond and new revelations about power, tradition, and trust. Because the true mate bond, once acknowledged, can never be severed, only transformed. Under the watching moon guiding all wolves, will betrayal lead to destruction... or create a greater bond than either could imagine?
