At her own Mating Ceremony, Elara Vale is publicly betrayed when her fiancé brings in his pregnant mistress — a former friend wearing the necklace he once gave Elara as a promise. Humiliated before the entire Pack, Elara refuses to bow. Instead, she revokes her claim and chooses Rowan Ashborne, the cursed, collared Alpha everyone believes is already broken. But when Elara’s Crown Blood touches Rowan’s Black Moon Collar, something ancient wakes inside him… And the wolf they buried may be the true king.
