Tala Silver has spent seven years pretending to be someone she's not — and it's about to cost her everything.
Born an Alpha but bound by political necessity, Tala disguised herself as a submissive Omega to marry Ralph Hemming, the cold and powerful Alpha of the Eclipse Pack. She gave him seven years of loyalty, devotion, and silent sacrifice — only to overhear him confess he never loved her at all.
When his first love, the mysterious witch Bonnie Snow, returns from exile, Tala finally does what she should have done long ago: she walks away. She severs their sacred Blood Oath, reclaims her name, and tries to rebuild a life from the ruins of everything she gave up.
But Ralph won't let go. And the world won't let her rest.
As Bonnie's dark ambitions spiral into violence, Tala is forced back into the orbit of the man who broke her — navigating pack politics, shattered alliances, and the devastating truth about her own heart. Along the way, she finds an unexpected ally in Alex Thorne, a vampire duke who has quietly loved her for years.
Mask Shatters, Alpha Rises is a story about the moment a woman stops shrinking to fit someone else's world — and starts becoming the force she was always meant to be. It is a story of betrayal and grief, of love that arrives too late and forgiveness that costs everything, set against a richly imagined supernatural world where power, pride, and the pull of a fated bond collide.
