A heart-wrenching tale of rejection, redemption, and finding love where you least expect it.
When eighteen-year-old Riley Martinez discovers she's mated to future Alpha Ethan Rivera, she thinks her dreams have come true. Until he crushes her world with four devastating words: “I reject you as my mate.” Choosing duty over destiny, Ethan picks politically advantageous Cassie instead, leaving Riley shattered and exiled from everything she's ever known.
Fleeing to Miami, Riley meets Alpha Joaquin Santos—a man haunted by his own rejection who becomes her unexpected salvation. As she rebuilds her life and finds healing in his arms, Riley discovers that sometimes the Moon Goddess's greatest gift isn't your first love, but your last.
But when pack politics threaten to tear apart the new life she's built, Riley must choose between the safety of hiding and fighting for a love that defies every werewolf tradition. With Ethan's marriage crumbling and old feelings resurfacing, Riley faces the ultimate test: will she let the past destroy her future, or prove that chosen love can be stronger than destined fate?
A powerful story of second chances, this paranormal romance explores what happens when you're brave enough to write your own destiny—even when the whole world tells you it's wrong.
