whispers beneath the moon

"You're too fat to be my Luna."

Those were the last words Penelope heard from her mate before he rejected her—

Before she found him tangled in the arms of her best friend.

Broken. Humiliated. Labeled the rejected mate of the Alpha, she ran—straight into the territory of a rival pack, where no one knew her name or her scars.

All she wanted was to disappear. To work quietly in the Alpha’s mansion and forget the pain.

But then she felt it again.

The pull. The bond.

Another mate.

A second chance.

This Alpha is nothing like the first. Dark. Dangerous. Scarred in ways only she can see.

But how can she trust fate when the first nearly destroyed her?

What if he rejects her too?

Because heartbreak once nearly killed her...

And this time, it just might.
