Every kiss felt like a fresh start, wiping away the silence and bringing us back together. Then I realized that I was truly his desire. The world around us disappeared as if no one mattered.

Después de la muerte de Harper, mi hermana gemela, mi compañero Alfa me odió durante diez años. Por una década entera fui su Luna e intenté de todas las formas posibles complacerlo. Un día, me dijo: —Si tantas ganas tienes de darme gusto, entonces muérete. Así que, cuando vi que un camión se dirigía hacia mí, ni siquiera me moví; sin embargo, nunca esperé que Noah me empujara para salvarme. Quedó herido de gravedad. Antes de morir, me miró y susurró: —Charlotte, si nunca te hubiera conocido, todo habría sido mejor. Al funeral de Noah asistieron todos los sabios y los miembros de la manada. —Debí dejar que Noah eligiera a Harper como su Luna. Me arrepiento de haberlo obligado a escogerte en ese entonces. ¡Tú lo mataste! La madre de Noah estaba deshecha por el dolor. El padre de Noah también habló: —¿Sabes? ¡Noah te salvó la vida tres veces! Era un Alfa de tan buen corazón... ¿Por qué no te moriste tú en su lugar? Todos en el funeral me miraban con reproche. Me echaron de la ceremonia; me quedé ahí, perdida y destrozada. Tres años después, con la ayuda de una bruja y su hechizo, regresé al pasado. Esta vez, tomé una decisión diferente. Pase lo que pase, nunca volveré a ser la Luna de Noah.

For three years, Grace Silver endured the bitter reality of being the Luna of Crimson Moon Pack—watching her mate Alexander repeatedly choose Victoria, his childhood sweetheart and supposed savior, over their sacred bond. Each time Victoria's "heart condition" flares, Alexander rushes to her side, leaving Grace alone. When rogue wolves nearly kill Grace during a vicious attack, Alexander abandons his wounded mate to comfort Victoria through another convenient "heart episode." Broken by this final betrayal, Grace decides to sever their mate bond, hiding a life-changing secret: she carries Alexander's twin pups, a blessing as rare as it is dangerous in their world. "I don't need your protection anymore," Grace declares coldly, though her dormant wolf aches with each word. However, after their divorce, Alexander found that his true love was Grace. What made him even more regretful was that he found Grace was the legendary "Moonlight Savior," the mysterious healer whose abilities Alexander has desperately sought to strengthen his pack. His wolf howled with regret. "You're still my Luna," he growled, his Alpha power making the walls vibrate as he begs for her return. But can Grace forgive the mate who chose another while she silently carried his pups? In a world where sacred bonds are everything and betrayal runs deep as blood, Grace must decide if Alexander deserves a second chance at their mate bond, or if some wounds cut too deep to heal.

Shock, cold and absolute, rippled through me. My jaw dropped. “Owned? I am not an object! You can’t just—” His dark chuckle cut me off. It was a chilling sound, devoid of warmth. “Oh, but I do, little bird. You became mine the moment your dear brother, Carlos, sold you to clear his debts. Along with almost all the shares in your father’s company.” The air left my lungs in a ragged gasp. What was he talking about? That couldn't be true, yet the look in his eyes said otherwise. He had sold me like an object, like chattel. Rage, raw and unadulterated, surged through me, eclipsing the fear for a fleeting moment. I tried to push past him, to escape and to run anywhere but his hand shot out, grabbing me by the neck, not quite choking but enough to hold me in an iron grip. He pinned me to the wall, his face inches from mine, his eyes burning with an intense possessive fire. “You now belong to Lorenzo Blackwood,” he growled, his voice low and dangerous. “You are mine. To possess. To claim. To own.”

“Ximena…” “I need answers, I want to know why Alpha Gonzalo and the Rogue king are after me. I need to know.” I replied, staring at him intently and he exhaled. “I’m equally confused. I don’t know what to think…” “I need a reason…” My voice softened. “The Rogue king has been terrorizing packs long before I was born but never for once has there been rumors of him trying to capture any wolf so he could mark her.
