She Was Never Wolfless

Roxanna Knight was born into Silver Paw believing one thing: when she turned eighteen, everything would finally make sense.

Instead, her fated mate-Justin, the Alpha heir and her childhood best friend-publicly rejects her, declaring her wolfless and unworthy. Humiliated beneath the full moon, Roxanna loses not just her bond, but her place in the pack she once called home.

With nowhere else to go, she crosses into Blood Moon territory-home to Alpha Dean Haywood, a battle-hardened leader who took his father's place far too young and learned that power means nothing without choice. Dean doesn't claim her. He doesn't force a bond. He waits.

As Roxanna's trust slowly rebuilds, an ancient wolf begins to stir-one that can only awaken through a bond freely chosen by both wolves. But when Silver Paw discovers what they discarded, obsession turns to war, and the Alpha who once rejected her will stop at nothing to reclaim her.

She was never wolfless.

She was waiting.
