Stone Bound Fate

Alex was never meant to come back.
At twelve years old, when every child in her pack shifted into their wolf for the first time, she didn't. Labeled abandoned by the Moon Goddess and seen as a bad omen, Alex was cast out by her own father-the Alpha-and sent to serve in the Temple of Athena. For six years, she buried the shame, devoted herself to discipline, and learned to survive without the bond every shifter is born to crave.
Now eighteen, she returns home for the mating ceremony-the one night that should determine her future.
Except nothing goes the way it should.
The bond doesn't snap.
Instead, something else answers her.
Something ancient. Something wrong.
In front of the entire pack, Alex unleashes a power no one understands- one that disrupts bonds, freezes wolves in place, and marks her as something far more dangerous.
Feared. Watched. Questioned.
And no longer invisible.
Worse... she isn't alone.
Three powerful males feel it too.
A bond that shouldn't exist.
A connection that refuses to break.
As tension builds within the pack and whispers of
"unnatural" turn into something darker, Alex is forced to confront the truth they tried to bury years ago:
She was never abandoned.
She was something they were afraid of.
