Second Chance for the Barren Luna

She was thrown away like trash. Now, the most dangerous wolf in the world calls her queen. They called me cursed. For five long years, I served as Luna of the Emberclaw Pack. I bled for them. I fought for them. I loved a man who only ever saw me as a tool for producing heirs. Then the healer spoke the word that destroyed my life: Barren. In front of the entire pack, my Alpha mate ripped our bond to shreds. He called me worthless. He threw me out of our territory during the harshest winter storm in a century without a coat, without food, without a single drop of mercy. He gave my crown to a younger, fertile she-wolf before my footprints in the snow had even faded. I crawled into the freezing dark, ready to let the cold take me. I had nothing left to fight for. Until he found me. Kaelan Voss is the Alpha King of the frozen North. He rules a kingdom carved from eternal ice. He is six years younger than me, built like a living weapon, and colder than the winds that howl outside his castle walls. His wolf is the color of fresh snow, and his eyes hold the fury of a blizzard. Everyone fears him. Everyone bows to him. But when he looks at the broken, discarded woman shivering at his feet… he does not see a failure. He sees a treasure. He tells me I was never broken. He tells me the rejection that nearly killed me actually woke something inside me—something ancient, something powerful, something that the oldest bloodlines have been hunting for three thousand years. He says I am not empty. I am a vessel. And I am about to overflow. But Kaelan did not warn me about the monster sleeping beneath his frozen kingdom. The one that has been whispering my name in my dreams. The one that has been waiting for a Luna exactly like me to finally wake up. Because I am not just his second chance. I am the key to an apocalypse. And when my old pack comes crawling back, begging for my forgiveness, they are about to learn a very hard truth: The Barren Luna is no longer barren. And this time… I am the one holding the crown.
