An omega, Elara, uses an amnesiac silver wolf for a pup and fakes her death when he regains his memories. Five years later, the new Alpha, Lucian, finds her and reveals he never abandoned her—he left to protect them from a deadly power struggle. He offers her freedom, a release writ, and the title of Luna with no rivals. Though scarred by the past, Elara agrees to try trusting him again, bringing their clever son home to the pack.
