Her Alpha rejected her beneath the Blood Moon. The Lycan King refuses to let anyone break her again.For twenty-six years, Amara Cole has lived as the wolfless disappointment of the Silvercrest Pack.She cannot shift. She has no rank worth mentioning. And while stronger wolves dismiss her as defective, Amara has quietly built a life of her own, using her gift as a healer to protect the vulnerable pack members everyone else prefers to forget.Then the Blood Moon rises.At Alpha Ronan Hale's coronation, Amara discovers the impossible: the man she once trusted is her fated mate.For one breathtaking moment, she believes destiny has finally chosen her.Ronan rejects her instead.Before the entire pack.Humiliated, devastated, and nearly destroyed by the severed bond, Amara feels something ancient awaken inside her. Her first shift should have been impossible. The enormous black wolf that emerges from her pain is even more impossible.And someone wants her dead because of it.Hunted through Blackpine Forest and driven across the forbidden Veil River, Amara falls into the territory of Lucian Vale, the feared Lycan King whose name has kept entire packs awake at night.The instant Lucian touches her, his wolf recognizes what neither of them is prepared to accept.Amara is his second-chance mate.But Amara has already learned what happens when powerful men believe fate gives them ownership of a woman.Lucian will have to prove he is different.As attraction grows into dangerous trust, Amara uncovers the truth her mother died protecting: she was never wolfless. Her power was sealed.And her blood belongs to a royal line older than Alphas, Lycans, or their kingdoms.Now the woman Silvercrest rejected may be the only one powerful enough to stop a conspiracy capable of bringing every wolf bloodline to its knees.But becoming a queen means returning to the pack that broke her.And this time, Amara Cole will not be the one kneeling.
