The Luna He Shouldn’t Want

Elara Vale has spent five years carrying the shame of her father's alleged treason. She believes marrying Adrian Blackthorn, heir to Silverpine, will finally give her family the future—and the belonging—that was taken from them.

Instead, beneath the Harvest Moon and before the entire pack, Adrian rejects her and names another woman as his bride.

The broken bond should leave Elara with nothing. Instead, it awakens the wolf that has been unnaturally quiet inside her—and draws her toward the one man she has every reason to resist: Darius Blackthorn, Adrian's father and the powerful Alpha who signed her father's exile.

Darius feels the same impossible connection. But Elara refuses to exchange one Blackthorn's promises for another man's control. Especially when Darius is tied to the darkest night of her past.

Then traces of wolfsbane are discovered in medicine Elara has trusted for months, and hidden records begin to cast doubt on everything Silverpine believes about her father. Someone has been burying evidence, silencing wolves, and protecting secrets worth killing for.

As old lies unravel and conflict threatens the pack, Elara must fight for the truth without surrendering the independence she has only just begun to reclaim. And if Darius wants a place beside her, being her fated mate will never be enough. He will have to earn something far more difficult—her trust.

Because Elara is done allowing powerful men, ancient laws, or even the Moon itself to decide who she belongs to.

This time, the choice will be hers.
