I died on my sister's altar.

She slit my throat during what should have been my mating ceremony—murdered me to steal the destiny everyone said belonged to her. The Alpha King. The prophecy. The crown.

But death had other plans.

When I clawed my way back from the Void as something darker, something powerful, something the supernatural world thought was extinct, I crashed my own funeral and discovered the cruelest truth of the mate bond had snapped. Not with my murderous twin. With me. The "worthless" sister. The one they called broken

.Alpha King Darius Moonshadow felt me die through our bond. For three agonizing hours, he mourned a mate he'd never met. Now I'm back, radiating death magic and vengeance, and he wants to claim what fate stole from him.

But I'm not the same girl who died on that altar.

I'm a Wraith Wolf—a creature of shadow and fury with the power to devour souls. My own family betrayed me. My sister wants me dead. And an ancient warlock who created death magic itself is hunting me, determined to use my body as his new vessel.

Darius says the mate bond makes me his. That he'll burn kingdoms to keep me safe. That together, we're unstoppable.
But loving him means accepting a bond everyone calls wrong. It means becoming Luna to a pack that fears me. It means absorbing his three-hundred-year death curse into my own body and risking everything I am to save him.
They called me the reject twin. The powerless one. The mistake.
They have no idea what I've become.
