Lila Gray’s world shatters when her mate, Alpha Jaxon, discovers her secret pregnancy by a human lover and rejects her in a brutal, moonlit betrayal. Scarred and banished, she flees into a wild, unforgiving forest, determined to protect the child growing within her. Alone and hunted, she stumbles into Kade, a rogue werewolf with a haunted past and a fierce resolve to keep her alive. Together, they face relentless wraiths, sinister shades, and whispers from the deep dark—ancient entities awakened by Lila’s mysterious old blood.

As Jaxon’s pack closes in and the supernatural threats escalate, Lila uncovers a power tied to her lineage and her unborn child, a force that could either save them or unleash a nightmare buried for centuries. With Kade by her side, she fights for survival, redemption, and a second chance at love, but the cost may be higher than she can bear. In a world where every shadow hides a threat, Lila must decide: run from the dark or face it head-on, even if it claims everything she holds dear.

Her kid kicked fiercely inside her as a jolt that kept her fighting while tears cut through the grime on her face since her thigh throbbed where Tara had clawed her and her side stung from that hunter's graze. She wasn't losing him, not after hunters and wolves and those silver-eyed strangers kept coming like a nightmare she couldn't shake.</p>
