When Alpha Kael Draven rejects Lyra, she accepts before he can finish the words—shocking the entire pack. What no one knows is that Lyra planned it. As the last living Bondmaker, she holds the power behind the mate bond itself… and she’s ready to destroy it. But when Kael begins to feel a twisted connection that shouldn’t exist, obsession replaces rejection. As alliances fracture and war brews between packs, Lyra must decide: end the system that controls them all, or risk becoming the very weapon it was designed to create. Because this time, the bond isn’t fate—it’s hers.
