Stella was sold into marriage to an older man. There was no love, no tenderness, only a transaction. Days blurred into silence and nights into loneliness; her life already carved into duty and decay. Until his son, Asher, appeared. At first, his gaze cut with resentment. But slowly it lingered— long and heavy. Curiosity bled into possession. Possession into hunger. Every glance from him felt like a touch; every brush of skin burned far too long to be ignored. She told herself to turn away. Yet when his hand finally lingered, she stayed still. And he knew. She belonged to his father, but he wanted her anyway. “Tell me to stop,” his voice was low, burning, “and I will. But you won’t.” In that moment, shame and desire blurred, and she realized the line had already been crossed. Is it rebellion? Is it loneliness? Or something darker? What burns hotter? Shame, or the desires she can’t resist?

“You don’t get to love me now, Sebastian.” Sebastian took a step toward me, drawing me in with his eyes like he always did. “I never stopped loving you…” I took a deep breath and made sure my next words were loud and clear. “I, Alora Blue Richardson, reject you Sebastian Wolfe, as my mate.” Luna Alora was born to lead, but real life has a way of making us stop in our tracks. Her mate’s betrayal left her scarred. Her sister’s schemes left her hunted. Now, with two newborns to protect and a storm brewing between rival Alphas, Alora must untangle a web of bloodlines, secrets, and forbidden love before the pack she once called home devours itself from within. Because in this world, the most dangerous wolves wear the kindest faces.
