She was rejected. He was waiting. But some enemies will burn the world to keep them apart.
Three years ago, Aria Stone felt the mate bond snap into place with Kai Morrison, the golden boy Alpha heir of her pack. Three years ago, he looked her in the eyes and spoke seven words that shattered her soul: "I reject you as my mate."
Now, on the eve of Kai's wedding to the perfect Alpha princess, the most dangerous man in the supernatural world walks into Aria's life.
Alpha Damon Cross doesn't make polite requests. He takes what's his.
The instant their gazes collide, the mate bond ignites between them like a wildfire, more intense, stronger, fiercer, and more fierce than her first mate ever bonded with her. But Damon isn't any sort of Alpha. He's the leader of the Blood Moon Pack, a man whispered about in dark corners, whose last Luna died under mysterious circumstances.
When Damon offers her everything Kai denied, power, respect, a pack that will worship her, Aria faces an impossible choice. Stay safe in the life that's slowly killing her, or risk everything for a love that might destroy her.
But someone doesn't want her to choose at all.
Sophia Bell has spent years planning her perfect life as Kai's Luna, and she won't let a rejected mate ruin everything. When manipulation fails, she turns to deadlier methods. Rogue attacks. Sabotage. A war between packs that could cost hundreds of lives.
As Aria steps into her power as the Blood Moon Luna, she discovers that claiming her destiny means painting a target on everyone she loves. Because Sophia has a secret weapon and she's willing to watch the world burn before she lets Aria have her happily ever after.
In a world where pack loyalty is everything and love is the ultimate weakness, how far would you go to claim what's yours?
Some bonds are worth fighting for. Some enemies never forgive. And some loves are strong enough to survive anything, if you're brave enough to fight for them.
