For three years, Seraphina Vance gave Alpha Killian Blackwood her blood, her loyalty, and the last fragile pieces of her heart.

Then she heard the truth.

To Killian, she was never his future Luna. She was a wolfless embarrassment, a convenient secret, and the woman keeping his beast from falling apart. When he chose another woman and expected Sera to keep bleeding quietly for him, something inside her finally broke.

But walking away from an Alpha is dangerous. Walking away while carrying his child is worse.

Just when Killian realizes what he has lost, a far more powerful man steps out of the shadows: Silas Silverstone, the feared Shadow King of the North. Cold, ruthless, and impossible to command, Silas sees what everyone else ignored. Sera is not weak. She is not wolfless. She is something older, rarer, and far more dangerous than any of them imagined.

As buried bloodlines awaken and old laws rise from the ashes, Sera must protect her unborn child, expose the people who used her, and decide whether the Shadow King standing beside her is another cage... or the first man who will never ask her to kneel.

Rejected by one Alpha. Claimed beside a king. Crowned by her own power.
