Willow Moran has spent most of her life trying to earn the one thing she has never truly possessed: a place in Blackridge Pack that no one can take away.
As a former pack ward, Willow believes mating Tate Cantrell, the Alpha’s chosen heir, will finally give her the family, status, and security she has worked for since losing her parents. Their mating night should seal her future.
Instead, it becomes a bloodbath.
Rogues attack the Moon Court. Tate leaves Willow’s side at the worst possible moment. A moonbane-laced blade brings her to the edge of death. And the only wolf powerful enough to save her is Grady Mitchell, Blackridge’s feared Alpha and Tate’s uncle.
Grady invokes an ancient emergency law and marks Willow to keep her alive.
The mark should not take.
But it does.
Now Willow is bound to the one man she was never supposed to want, while the mate she planned to choose insists she still belongs to him. Grady is older, powerful, fiercely controlled, and far too aware that saving Willow does not give him the right to keep her. Yet every forced moment of distance makes the attraction between them harder to ignore.
As questions rise around the attack, Willow must decide whether the future she fought for was ever truly hers, and whether the forbidden Alpha standing between her and danger is protecting her freedom or threatening it.
Perfect for readers who crave forbidden werewolf romance, dangerous pack politics, fated-bond tension, protective Alpha energy, betrayal, forced proximity, and a heroine who refuses to let love become another cage.
