He rejected the wrong Alpha. And now, she has an army at her back.
On their wedding night, Alpha Hunter Bradley claimed Selene not out of love, but out of cold, vengeful pack tradition—blaming the wolf-less orphan for his brother’s tragic drowning. The following evening, he committed the unthinkable: he shattered their fledgling mate bond before the entire pack, branded her a liar, and sentenced her to thirty days of silver-tipped lashes and starvation in the Crescent Moon dungeons.
They expected her to die broken.
Instead, they broke the seal on an ancient power.
Carrying the bloodline of the Moon Goddess, Selene awakens Diana—a mythical silver Alpha wolf. Rescued from the brink of death, she vanishes into the wild, unifies a sovereign pack of three hundred battle-hardened rogue warriors, and sharpens herself into a living weapon.
One year later, the high-society packs gather for the masked Full Lunar Eclipse Gala.
Disguised behind a Venetian mask and a witch’s cloaking glamour as “Beta Sophia,” Selene steps straight into Hunter’s crumbling territory. His pack is falling apart, his inner wolf refuses to obey his commands, and the second his eyes lock onto the deadly stranger, the beast inside him roars to life with possessive, feral need.
He doesn’t realize he is pursuing the mate he threw to the wolves.
And she will make him bleed for every shred of pride he stole.
