The Countdown

In a world where werewolf bonds dictate destiny, Alpha King Thorne rejects his fated mate Ryland-triggering a catastrophic chain of events. As Ryland descends into a feral state, packs destabilize, bonds corrode, and extinction looms unless Thorne can reclaim what he broke through trust and redemption, amid explicit passion and brutal betrayal.

The bond completed.
The king denied it.
And the wolf took over.

Werewolf bonds are sacred.
Absolute.
Unbreakable.

When Alpha King Thorne turns away from the mate the Moon bound to him, he doesn't just break Ryland's heart-he fractures the foundation of their world.

Ryland's wolf seals him off, dragging him into a feral state no Alpha has ever returned from.

As packs begin to collapse and ancient bonds rot from the inside out, a truth buried by tradition comes to light: Ryland is a keystone. Without him, the werewolf race will fall. Extinction is no longer a distant prophecy-it is already in motion.

Thorne is given one order.

FIX IT.

To save Ryland-and everything else-Thorne must earn the trust of a feral wolf that believes he is the enemy. He must face the damage he caused not as a king, but as the mate who chose power over truth.

If he fails, Ryland will die.

And the Moon Goddess will strip Thorne of everything-his wolf, his crown, and his sanity-condemning him to live among humans, fully aware, fully broken, carrying the echoes of millions of wolves torn from their packs, their bonds severed because of his choice.

So what happens when a man raised to put the crown above all else is forced to unlearn everything he was taught?

What happens when an Alpha King-who has never loved a man, never questioned his role, never defied tradition-must accept that his mate is male...

...and that rejecting him may have already doomed the world?

Some bonds don't break clean.

They rot.

And some choices don't end stories.

They start wars.

Alpha King Thorne has sixty days.
And the countdown begins-

NOW!
