“Kael grew up with no surname, no protection, and no mercy. Branded a bastard from birth, he is tolerated in the Nightfang Pack only because of his strength-never respected, never claimed. The Alpha who should have acknowledged him instead buries his existence, denying him blood, status, and truth. On the night fate finally turns, Kael's life shatters. Publicly rejected as both son and heir, Kael is humiliated before the entire pack-only for the Moon Goddess to bind him to a mate at the very moment his bloodline is denied. Forced into an impossible choice, Kael rejects the bond, triggering a power no one expected and exposing a truth the Alpha has spent decades hiding. Kael is not fatherless. His blood awakens something ancient-something erased from werewolf history. A lineage older than packs, older than Alpha law. A power so feared that it was buried, its heirs hunted, its name forbidden. As rival packs stir and the Alpha Council moves to eliminate him, Kael is cast out as a threat to the entire werewolf world. Hunted as a monster, betrayed by those who raised him, and bound to a mate whose own awakening could change everything, Kael must uncover the truth about his origin before his power consumes him-or the world burns. Once called a bastard. Now feared as a king.”
