Author Queen Ash

"It's normal for an Alpha to have two mates, Winter. A few months ago, I realized Crystal is also my mate—and I can't ignore that." Kallias said calmly. He looked at me with that same arrogant certainty. "I won't release you as my Luna. I'll make history, Winter—one Alpha, two Lunas." For a moment, I could only stare at him. Then I smiled bitterly. "I, Winter Ashbane of the Winterwood Pack, reject you, Kallias Thorn, as my mate. From this moment on, you are nothing to me." I thought my life was perfect—an Alpha's wife, loved and cherished, destined for a happy future. Until the healers told me I could never bear a child. My maid and closest friend, Crystal, offered to be our surrogate. I believed in her kindness… until the night of the attack. She pushed me into the fire, and my husband chose to save her instead. When I woke from the flames, I learned she was carrying his child—and he called it fate. He said it was natural for an Alpha to have two mates. He said he would build a pack with two Lunas. The woman who once lived for love died that night. Now, I am no longer the gentle Luna they once adored but a broken soul burning with vengeance. I will give anything—do anything—even if it means striking a deadly bargain with Valtor North, the Rogue King feared by every Alpha. But fate is cruel. A dangerous, forbidden desire ignites between me and the man I should hate—the sworn enemy of my kind. Torn between duty and desire, I face the ultimate choice: conquer the storm… or let it consume me whole.
