Make me his Luna.But trusting the man who destroyed me once means risking everything I've built.When your greatest love becomes your only salvation—do you surrender to the mate who abandoned you, or die protecting the independence you fought so hard to claim? While the story contains a sexual assault scene, it is not graphic or gratuitous, and the focus is on the character's emotional response and recovery rather than explicit details of the assault itself. The sexual content between the main characters is consensual and occurs after the romantic relationship is established.Ava and Zane's love story was told in the original Feuding with the Pack Alpha (published in 2024). This revised version includes many of the same characters and situations, but a lot more action, chemistry, and well-deserved HEA. less
