Aurora, the designated Luna‑heir of the Crescent‑Moon Wolf Clan, once possessed an envied bloodline and Kane, her fated Alpha mate. Yet a sudden betrayal cast her brutally into despair. After uncovering a sordid truth, she was cast aside by both her lover and her own kin, exiled to a lawless wasteland teeming with dangers.On the brink of death, a mysterious System offered her a cruel contract: should she return to the wolf clan after three years and yield complete obedience until her dying breath, she would break free from this torment‑ridden world and be transported to a peaceful mortal human realm.Three years slipped by in the blink of an eye, and Aurora stepped once more into her familiar home. Old wounds were far from healed. Her adopted sister, playing the part of a frail victim, laid trap after trap against her. Clouded by prejudice, her lover and family were convinced she was merely feigning misery to win sympathy.To fulfill the contract, Aurora sheathed all her defiance. She offered no rebuttals, put up no resistance, and endured torments and brutal punishments in silence. When the silver blade that symbolized death was placed in her grasp, everyone expected her to beg for mercy — but she made a choice that horrified every soul present.

For seven years, Kelsey Dale ran a business empire from the shadows and called herself a housewife. She gave up her name, her position, and eventually her health to prop up a husband who needed her more than he admitted, including nursing him through a near-fatal illness with everything she had. On the day their infant son turns one hundred days old, Gaige Hamilton walks through the door with his mistress and their child, backed by his parents, and offers Kelsey a choice: accept them under her roof and keep managing the household, or leave without her son. Seven years. That is what they thought they were owed.

"Don't move. Your dress isn't on properly." Alpha Leo Stonewell lifted a hand to adjust my ceremonial gown. But the next second, the words that came out of his mouth sent a chill down my spine. "Layla, let Lilith wear this dress instead. Don't show up at our marking ceremony on the night of the full moon. She'll take your place then." I looked up immediately. "Have you lost your mind?" He sighed softly as if to suggest I was being unreasonable. "Lilith is just an Omega in the pack. I can't bear to let her stay with me without a rightful title. Tomorrow, I'll officially mark her during the ceremony." The northern wind sliced across my face. It felt bitterly cold, but it could hardly compare to the freezing ache in my chest. "We're supposed to become mates tomorrow. If you're going to mark her, then what did the past ten years between us even mean?" Leo frowned. Impatience crept into his voice. "Your wolf spirit has been dormant all this time. To the other werewolves in the pack, you're no different from an Omega. Layla, don't worry. Even if I mark her, I'll still take care of you for the rest of your life. Let her have this marking ceremony. Lilith is young and beautiful. She can't handle being wronged." My face slowly drained of color. If this Alpha thought I wasn't as young or beautiful as Lilith Lambert, then I didn't want him as my mate either.

Aurora, noble Lycan queen, drank a witch’s potion to mate with her savior Jacob, at the cost of her powers and scent, only to be betrayed and mocked as a Rogue. Now, with her magic returning, she’ll join gallant Alpha King Avalon to wreak vengeance on her enemies.
