Nine-year-old Krysta Watson was born an Alpha’s daughter. After her pack is massacred, she watches her brother, Lance, die at the hands of a man he called his friend. Obeying her brother’s final command, she runs, finding shelter in a quiet southern pack and burying her true identity. Believing her family is wiped out, she dedicates her life to one purpose: revenge.
Nathan Torres, the commanding Alpha of the north, is shattered when his best friend Lance’s pack is destroyed. He finds Lance’s body, tormented by his failure to protect him and ignorant of the killer’s identity. They search for Krysta, but when no trace is found, they mark her as another victim of the tragedy.
Nine years later, at a gathering hosted by her guardian Alpha, Krysta’s wolf screams for its mate—one of the visiting Alphas. But Krysta sees only Nathan Torres, the other man she holds responsible for her brother’s death. She immediately tries to sever the bond, but Nathan has spent nearly a decade searching for his mate. His interest burns hotter when he realizes this supposed Omega carries the scent of a hidden Alpha, and he is determined to uncover all her secrets.
With her revenge meticulously planned for years, Krysta is enraged when Nathan demands she accept their bond, threatening the peaceful pack that saved her. Trapped, she agrees to leave with him, submitting to his will but secretly vowing to carry out her revenge, even if it means destroying her own mate.
The truth of Krysta’s identity is a ticking clock, threatening to shatter Nathan the moment he learns his fated mate is the long-lost sister of the friend he failed to save. He’ll have to break through nine years of hardened hate to prove he was never part of the betrayal. As they unravel the conspiracy, Krysta will discover the ultimate treachery comes not from an enemy, but from her own blood, forcing her to lean on the one man powerful enough to help her claim justice.

Alpha Arthur guides us through the packhouse entrance, his voice warm with genuine enthusiasm. "We have arranged accommodations on the Alpha floor for your family. I trust this meets with your approval. Having you here to witness Grace's official Luna ceremony means everything to us."


Aunt Krysta inclines her head gracefully. "The honor is ours, Alpha Arthur."


Grace steps closer, her eyes bright with nervous energy. "How are you settling in with everything, Gianna? I know this must feel overwhelming."


"The pack members seem welcoming," I reply carefully, watching her expression. "I was hoping you might still want my help getting ready for tonight's ceremony."


My request brings an immediate smile to her face, but I sense something deeper lurking beneath her enthusiasm. "Would it be possible for Aunt Krysta to join us as well? I think I would feel more comfortable with her there."
