He rejected her beneath the Blood Moon.
Fate answered with fire.
Low-ranked and overlooked, Lyra Ashwyn has survived pack life by being invisible. No power. No status. No future. Until the ancient Blood Moon ceremony exposes the truth she never saw coming—she is the fated mate of the most feared Alpha in the northern territories.
Alpha Kael Ravaryn does not make mistakes. He rules through dominance, strategy, and unbreakable control. A public bond to a weak omega would shatter his alliances—and his throne. So he does the unthinkable.
He rejects her.
But rejection doesn't end a true bond—it warps it.
As the bond burns hotter by the day, Kael's wolf spirals toward obsession, while rival packs hunt Lyra as the Alpha's greatest vulnerability. Forced into isolation together, hatred ignites into desire, and denial into need.
Loving her could cost Kael his crown.
Losing her could destroy him.
And Lyra?
She is no longer willing to stay invisible.
