I never wanted to be special. I just wanted to survive.

As a half-human, half-wolf outcast, I've spent my whole life hiding what I am. In a world where purity is everything, my mixed blood makes me an abomination. A mistake that should have been destroyed at birth.

So when my pack sells me off to secure an alliance, I think my nightmare can't get any worse.

I'm wrong.

The moment I step into Ironridge territory, I feel it. The mate bond. That soul-deep connection that only happens once in a lifetime. The problem? It's not with the cruel heir I'm supposed to marry.

It's with his father. The most powerful, dangerous alpha in the region.

Alpha Kael Blackthorn is everything I shouldn't want.

Ruthless. Scarred by loss. Bound by duty to let me marry his son. And absolutely, devastatingly mine.

He tries to deny it. Tries to do the honorable thing and watch me pledge myself to another wolf. But the mate bond doesn't care about honor. And when my secret gets out-when the pack discovers I'm half-human-everything explodes.

Now I'm fighting for my life in a world that wants me dead. Caught between a son who sees me as a weapon and a father who can't admit he wants me. And the mate bond? It's getting stronger every day, pulling us together even as duty tears us apart.

They call me weak. Broken. Unworthy.

But I'm done apologizing for existing. I'm done letting wolves tell me I'm not good enough.

If they want me dead, they'll have to go through my mate first. And trust me-that's not a fight anyone wants.

Because the half-breed omega they dismissed? She's about to show them exactly what a real Luna looks like.
