Blurb:
They said the Moon Goddess made no mistakes.
Then why did she bind an Alpha to the one woman he was sworn to hate?
Alpha Kael Thorne is a ruthless leader feared across the five territories. Haunted by betrayal, he rules the Crimson Howl Pack with iron and instinct. But when he invades a rival pack and captures their last living heir—Aria Vale, a fierce yet broken woman—he’s shaken to his core by the unthinkable.
She’s his mate.
Aria Vale wants revenge. Her family was slaughtered by the same man fate has bound her to. Now a prisoner in his cold castle nestled in the blood-soaked woods, she must fight the bond burning between them, even as her heart starts to betray her every vow.
But something dark is stirring. Secrets buried with the dead are rising, and both Alpha and prisoner will be forced to face a greater evil—together—or watch their world turn to ash.
