Redeemed by the Luna of the Enemy Pack

Tova Sorensen was nineteen the night Hollow Ridge killed her father and took her right eye. She has spent seventeen years holding Greywater together and telling herself she will not go to war. She has almost started believing it. Cassian Alder was twelve that night, and he has spent his whole life signing checks his father's war wrote. Hollow Ridge is starving. Greywater is dry. The only reservoir either pack can reach is shared, and shared things get taken. They meet at a treaty signing, across a table, in front of two councils. The mate bond hits them both in the dead middle of a sentence neither of them finishes. Tova leaves. Cassian doesn't follow. Now it's a summer of negotiations, hostage exchanges, and one water compact that has to hold or both packs will bleed for a deer trail again. And somewhere in the margins, an alpha with one eye is learning what it costs to trust a man whose name is on a grave she visits every year.
