For fourteen years, Kaida lived in the shadow of her arranged marriage to Lupus, the powerful Alpha of the Silver Fang pack. What began as a cold union soon becomes a bond tested by betrayal, prophecy, and a secret that could tear their world apart.
When an ancient intruder breaks into their manor, awakening the cursed legacy buried under their home, Kaida discovers she is no ordinary bride, she is the last blood of the Moon Priestess, and her sacrifice may be the only thing that can save their pack. With her marriage bound by fate and her blood tied to power, can Kaida rewrite a destiny carve on stone?

We return to the courtyard, and the pack cheers for us. Lanterns bob in festive wind, food and drink appear, as families celebrate our victory.


Lupus squeezes my hand. "You were magnificent."


I lean into him. "I couldn't have done it without you."


He kisses my head. "We did this together."


Later in our chamber, I sink onto the bed, weary but alive, Lupus sits beside me with a steaming cup of tea.


I take a sip. "Our bridal oath stands."


I rest against him. "Pack is safe… for now."


He kisses my temple. "And we are stronger...for this night."


A soft breeze drifts through the open window, on the windowsill, unseen nearly, a small green crystal glows once before cracking into dust. My breath catches.


I stare at the spot. "I guess it is not over."
