Aya came to kill the Alpha. Instead, he claimed her under the Blood Moon. Forced into a brutal mating ceremony with the cold, ruthless Alpha Kael, Aya becomes a pawn in a war between packs. But she isn’t just a sacrificial bride—she’s an assassin with a hidden past and revenge burning in her veins. Kael rules with iron and ice, but something in Aya sets his tightly leashed control on fire. She’s defiant, dangerous—and now, irrevocably bonded to him. As the forced bond begins to unravel their bodies and minds, a dark truth rises with the blood moon: betrayal is inescapable, and desire might be deadlier than hate. In a world of beasts and betrayals, love may be the most dangerous curse of all. Will she destroy the Alpha… or become his queen?
