Blessed by fate. Trapped by blood. Tried by betrayal.
When Lila Thorn wakes to find a smoldering crescent mark on her wrist, it doesn't make her happy—it marks her as the fated mate of Kael Draven, the exiled Alpha accused of treason and sentenced to death when he finds his mate. Her pack demands obedience. Her nature screams in rebellion. But with each step toward Kael, she begins questioning the lies she's been told.
Hunted by enemies and haunted by visions of Kael's lost past, Lila finds a darker truth: the witch who cursed Kael remains—and her magic is fueled by secrets and sacrifice. And when that very same witch offers them a cruel solution in exchange for the ultimate price—the erasure of their bond—Lila has to decide if love is worth breaking. or defying fate to rebuild.
In a world where betrayal is deadly and loyalty runs through blood, Lila needs to become more than a tracker—she needs to be the leader destiny never expected. But with the curse closing in and the witch's ulterior motives emerging, one thing is certain: Loving Kael could save the packs... or doom them both.
