Sinopse
Ashka Vale was never meant to matter in Ashridge.She’s low-rank. A healer’s runner. The kind of wolf the pack praises only when they need her hands—and forgets the moment the work is done. But under the full moon, fate makes a cruel mistake… or a dangerous one.Because the mate-mark on Ashka’s wrist doesn’t belong to just anyone.It belongs to Alpha Lucian Blackthorne—and he rejects her anyway.In front of the pack. Under oath-blood. With the High Council watching like predators in clean cloaks, Lucian chooses a political bride and casts Ashka beyond the border before dawn. He calls it duty. He calls it protection. Ashka calls it betrayal—and she survives the wild long enough to learn the truth: a rejected mate doesn’t stop being hunted just because she’s exiled.When Ashridge’s pups start disappearing and the Council’s “inspection” turns into a threat, Ashka is forced back into the territory that broke her. Back into pack politics, old lies, and a bond that never truly died. Back into Lucian’s reach—where regret is easy to whisper, but redemption costs blood.Now the Council wants proof. The pack wants someone to blame. Lucian wants a second chance.And Ashka has one question left to answer:Will she let the Alpha who shattered her claim her again… or will she burn the whole rotten system down before it buries them both?
