Then Kane rejected her in front of the entire pack, choosing status and a political match over a bond he called “inconvenient.” Humiliated and broken, Luna is ready to leave the territory for good until Alpha Magnus Ashford, Kane’s father, and the most powerful, most feared wolf in the Northern Packs, stops her at the border. What he offers isn’t pity. It’s a claim of his own. Magnus has watched his son throw away something rare. He doesn’t believe in wasted bonds and he’s done watching from the sidelines. But claiming his own son’s rejected mate will fracture the pack, ignite a war of pride between father and son, and force Luna to decide if she’s brave enough to choose the wolf who chose her back, consequences be damned.
