A crown should command loyalty. This one demands sacrifice.

When Kael Draven, the empire's heir and untouchable Alpha-in-waiting, is struck by a forbidden bond that should not exist, his world fractures in ways even the Moon Throne cannot contain. She is a captive with no name, no history... and a bloodline that was meant to be erased from existence.

But the moment she steps into his world, wolves stop obeying. Borders fall silent. And ancient laws buried beneath royal doctrine begin to awaken.

As their bond ignites against every law of nature and empire, Kael is stripped of his inheritance, branded a traitor, and forced to choose between the throne he was born to claim-or the girl who is unraveling everything the crown was built to protect.

She is not just a prisoner.

She is not just a mate.

She is the key to a truth the empire buried beneath generations of blood and silence.

And somewhere beyond the shattered Crown and the awakening Moon Throne, something older is calling her home.

Because this bond was never meant to exist... it was meant to end everything.

How far would you go for a bond that could destroy an empire-and what would you sacrifice when the crown itself demands her life?
