Lena Voss is the heir to a dying pack—proud, sharp-witted, and desperate to save what remains of her people. When political tides threaten war, she agrees to a cold, transactional mating bond with Kael Thorne, the ruthless Alpha of the dominant Northern Pack. It’s not love—it’s survival. But someone within the inner circle has been turned. A sabotage. A murder. False evidence. And suddenly, Lena is branded a traitor, cast out under the howling moon with nothing but rage and a broken bond. Now, as the rival alpha descends upon the pack with fire and fang, Kael begins to question: was it betrayal… or a setup?
