He rejected his fated mate.
Now his entire pack wants her back.
Adrian never expected the woman chosen by fate to become the greatest mistake of his life.
As the Alpha of Blackthorn, he believed he needed a powerful Luna who could stand beside him without weakness. So when Elara became his fated mate, he made the choice that shattered them both.
He rejected her.
Heartbroken and humiliated, Elara walked away from the pack she once believed was her home. She disappeared beyond Blackthorn's borders, determined to build a life where her worth would never depend on an Alpha's approval.
But her absence changes everything.
The pack begins to suffer without its Luna. Old laws start to collapse. The council turns against Adrian. And the longer Elara stays away, the more Adrian realizes that the woman he rejected was never the weakness he feared.
She was the one person strong enough to challenge him.
When the pack demands that Elara return, Adrian crosses the border to find the mate he once cast aside.
But she is no longer the woman who left.
Elara has learned to live without him.
She has discovered a strength of her own.
And she refuses to return simply because fate says she belongs beside an Alpha.
Now Adrian must face the consequences of his rejection.
Because winning back his mate will require more than an apology.
He must earn her trust.
He must prove that he has changed.
And most importantly, he must give her something he once refused to give her—
A choice.
But when a rival Alpha makes his claim, ancient secrets surrounding the Luna bloodline come to light, and the pack is threatened by an enemy that knows exactly how to break them, Elara and Adrian are forced to decide whether their bond is strong enough to survive the past.
She once walked away because he rejected her.
Now she has the power to decide whether he deserves a second chance.
And this time, the choice belongs to her.
