When a rejected mate claim destroys everything, can love heal what betrayal has broken?

Sera Nightwind thought her greatest pain was being publicly rejected by Alpha heir Dominic Blackthorne five years ago. She was wrong. Her greatest pain is watching their secret daughter, Luna, manifest deadly shadow-wolf abilities that could get them both killed.

Now Viktor Greystone, a centuries-old collector of supernatural essence, is hunting Luna for her rare bloodline. When he corners them at a family wedding, Sera has no choice but to accept Dominic's desperate proposal: a fake engagement to protect their daughter from those who would drain her power dry.

But Dominic is hiding a deadly secret. The Blackthorne curse is killing him, and he has less than thirty days to complete a mating bond with his true mate—or lose his humanity forever. As Viktor's threats escalate and Luna's abilities spiral out of control, Sera discovers that her broken wolf isn't as powerless as she believed.

With the blood moon rising and the Supernatural Council demanding Luna's custody, three fractured souls must choose between survival and sacrifice. In a world where love is the ultimate weapon and family bonds can break ancient curses, some betrayals cut so deep they reshape destiny itself.

Will their love be strong enough to save Luna—or will Viktor's final gambit destroy them all before they get their second chance?
