Ayasha watched her brother die at the hands of King Nahuel as her pack was crushed beneath the weight of conquest. When she catches the tyrant king’s eye during a brutal sparring match, he offers her a deal: marry his son, Prince Koda, and her family will be spared.

Desperate to protect what remains, Ayasha agrees.

But the promised marriage is a lie.

In the heart of Lamia, she discovers nineteen other would-be brides, all from fallen packs, forced into a brutal Luna trial. Only one will earn the right to stand beside the prince. The rest will lose everything, including their lives.

Ayasha already has an agenda of her own. She plans to kill Koda, the son of the monster she blames for her brother’s death.

Then her wolf imprints on him.

Fate has bound her to the very man she came to destroy. As the trials grow bloodier and palace secrets come to light, Ayasha must choose between the vengeance that drives her and the bond she never wanted.

Ayasha, moonlit and molten, her golden skin gleaming in the dim glow that spilled through the open window. Silver light kissed the curves of her body, catching the rise and fall of her chest as her breath hitched in quick, desperate bursts. She writhed under me, every movement a plea, every brush of her hips against mine another wordless cry for more.


"Please," she breathed, voice shaking with need, so soft it barely stirred the space between us. "I need you inside me. I need to feel you... everywhere."


My body tightened, cock straining with the weight of her words, but I wasn't ready to give her that. Not yet. Not before I tasted her. Not before I let her feel the ache of being worshipped, inch by trembling inch.
