Summary

Helen Winningham, Queen of Ginastovia, is beloved by nearly everyone in the kingdom. Everyone that is, except her callous cousin Lord Jacob, of noble birth. But of all those who adore the Queen, her chief advisor, Oliver, loves her the most. So when she confides in Oliver to help her reconnect with her long-lost son in hopes of making him the next King of Ginastovia, Oliver instantly obliges her request. However, the pursuit of finding out the truth of her son is more complicated than Oliver anticipated. After the Queen mysteriously falls ill, Oliver must promptly return to Ginastovia to aid in her recovery. Will Oliver be able to save his dear Queen before it’s too late? Will he be able to find her long-lost son or will the vile Lord Jacob be next in line to take the throne?

    He rejected her before the crown could touch her head.The bond shattered in front of the pack — but her heart never forgot.Now the Luna he betrayed is back… and she’s no longer the girl he left behind. When Kaia is rejected by the Alpha King, she loses more than her future — she loses her place, her name, and the bond that was meant to define her life. Forced into exile, she becomes stronger, colder, and impossible to break. But when danger threatens the territory, the Alpha King summons the one woman he swore he didn’t need… and the past refuses to stay buried. The girl who once waited to be chosen returns as a warrior who chooses herself. Kaia rebuilds her power, her identity, and the strength the pack underestimated. The broken bond begins to stir again, not as weakness — but as something dangerous, undeniable, and impossible to ignore. Orion never stopped feeling the connection he rejected. Regret shadows every decision, every sleepless night, every moment she stands within reach but beyond forgiveness. As threats rise and secrets surface, he must face the truth: losing her was the greatest mistake of his reign… and winning her back may cost everything. Kaia must decide whether love is redemption or another betrayal waiting to happen. Trust means vulnerability. Forgiveness means risk. And claiming the bond again means standing at the center of power, politics, and enemies who now know exactly how valuable she is. A rejected Luna, a remorseful Alpha King, a bond that refuses to die, and a revenge story that turns heartbreak into power. If you love rejected mate angst, second-chance passion, protective Alpha heroes, political pack drama, and fierce heroines who make kings beg — this paranormal romance delivers emotion, tension, heat, and a hard-won happily ever after. Start reading and watch the betrayed Luna reclaim her crown.
