Sera had always known she had a mate. She had seen him in her dreams since childhood—his warmth, his love, his whispered promises. But when she finally meets him in reality, everything crumbles.

Her mate is none other than Lucian, the Alpha King, the most powerful werewolf in the world. But he is nothing like the man in her dreams. He is cold, ruthless, and completely uninterested in their bond. Worse, he humiliates her in front of everyone, shattering her heart.

But fate is cruel. When war looms on the horizon, Sera is forced to stay in his kingdom, trapped under his rule. He wants nothing to do with her, yet he refuses to let her go. And when a deadly enemy threatens to destroy them all, she realizes there is more to their bond than either of them understands.

If the Alpha King was truly her mate… then why does he treat her like an enemy?

Was the crack in the sky real? My heart pounded harder in my chest, the unsettling thought creeping forward like an unstoppable wave.
