The call of the wild runs deep in my veins, but when fate binds me to a mate I cannot accept, your decisions shape whether loyalty tears us apart or love forges something stronger. In a world where pack law is absolute and desire is destiny, rejecting your mate is a death sentence—both socially and spiritually. You are Kael, an alpha-born outcast, torn between instinct and defiance, hunted by your kind for refusing the bond that should have saved you. This is not a story of surrender. This is the rise of the wolf who said no.

Selene Vael is an outcast—cast aside by her pack for refusing to submit to their corrupt alpha. Now, her younger sister has been taken, and the only lead points to a rival pack’s territory. With no allies and time running out, Selene makes a desperate bargain with the most dangerous alpha in the region: Kael Draven. Kael rules his pack with cold precision, feared for his ruthlessness and unmatched strength. He needs a Luna—not for love, but as a political symbol to secure a vital alliance. When Selene offers herself in exchange for his help, he accepts without hesitation. She’s a tool. A necessity. Nothing more. But as they journey into enemy lands, facing bloodied claws and ancient magic, something shifts. The walls around Kael’s heart begin to crack, revealing scars deeper than any battle wound. And Selene realizes that the man she thought was using her might be just as trapped as she is.
