Aurora Thatcher has spent her life in the shadow of her perfect cousin, Clementine, always second-best in her family’s eyes. Her one hope is the annual Mating Ceremony, where the Moon Goddess will reveal her fated mate. But when she is destined for the powerful and respected Alpha, Owen Upton, her hope shatters. In a stunning act of betrayal, Owen publicly rejects her, choosing the unmated Clementine to stand by his side as his chosen Luna to forge a powerful alliance. Cast out and humiliated, Aurora is forced to endure the scorn of her pack and the cold indifference of the man who was meant to be her other half. The pain of rejection forges a new, unyielding resolve within her: to make them all regret it. An unexpected offer from a dangerous rival, Alpha Caleb Warwick, presents a path to power and vengeance. Aurora must now walk a treacherous path, embracing the darkness of her broken bond to rise from the ashes. The Alpha who rejected her will soon learn that a she-wolf with nothing left to lose is a force to be reckoned with.
