Astrid dedicated her life to Leon, believing in their love, their pack, their future. But the devastating return of her sister, Clara, as Leon's destined mate, shatters Astrid's carefully constructed world. Betrayal cuts deep, leaving Astrid stripped bare and forced to confront a horrifying truth: her loyalty was misplaced, her sacrifices meaningless.

Just as despair threatens to consume her, Kaeleen, a magnetic and rebellious Alpha from a rival pack, storms into her life, igniting a forbidden passion that challenges everything she thought she knew. He offers her a chance to escape the suffocating control of her past, to claim a life of her own, a life where she is the priority.

But Leon won't relinquish his prize so easily. Obsessed and dangerously possessive, he unleashes a storm of violence and manipulation, determined to drag Astrid back into the darkness. Now, Astrid must make a desperate choice: succumb to the chains of her past, or embrace the dangerous allure of a love that could save her... or ignite a war that will consume them all.

Kaeleen's declaration hung in the air, thick with defiance and possessiveness. The shock on Leon's face was almost comical, a mixture of disbelief and sputtering rage. The elders had frowns plastered on their faces. Some gave Leon a discreet look and if I wasn't sure they were in cohorts with Leon, I was sure of it now.


"That's impossible," Leon finally managed to choke out, his voice trembling with fury. "Astrid can't be your Luna. She's mine! She belongs to the Moonshade pack!"


Kaeleen simply smirked, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Astrid doesn't belong to anyone. I've said it before and I'll say it again so get that in your thick brain."


The Elders exchanged glances, their expressions unreadable. I knew they were weighing their options, trying to determine the best course of action. They were bound by not only tradition but the deal they had with Leon. It was so fucking obvious to anyone who had eyes to see what was going on.
