Sienna Valeria Storm never thought survival would be her greatest crime. As the last Ruby Wolf, she’s been hunted, falsely accused of an Alpha’s murder, and forced into hiding. But when she crosses paths with Kieran Draven Wolfe—the ruthless Alpha of the Shadowfang Pack—her fate is sealed. He gives her a choice: stand trial and face execution or become his mate to break his lethal curse.  

Yet Kieran isn’t the only one drawn to her. Ronan Voss, an assassin from her forgotten past, is ordered to end her life, but his heart wavers. Caius Blackthorne, a vampire prince, tempts her with power in exchange for her loyalty. As the Celestial Trials force her to choose a mate, ancient shadows stir, and buried secrets come to light.  

Because the Midnight Syndicate doesn’t just want her dead—they want her power. And the truth is chilling: if she binds herself to the wrong mate, she could doom them all.  

She was born a legend. She will rise as a queen—or fall as a monster.

The Last Ruby Wolf

Something was wrong with me. I could feel it—a darkness spreading inside, like black ink in water. But I couldn't tell anyone. Not yet. Not when everyone was counting on me.

I stood on the hill overlooking my area, watching as hundreds of werewolves gathered. Not just my Shadowfang Pack, but wolves from every part of the country. They came because I called. Because they knew what was coming.

"Alpha Wolfe," a voice said behind me. I turned to see Marcus, head of the Mountain Claw Pack. "My fighters are ready."

I nodded. "Good. Position them at the eastern border. The Shadow Alpha will try to break through the weakest points first."

As Marcus left, I felt a sharp pain in my head. The darkness stirred. I gritted my teeth and pushed it down. Not now.

Sienna appeared at my side, her red hair catching the passing sunlight. Just seeing her made the darkness shrink a little.

"You look terrible," she said, her eyes searching my face.
