The First Luna Never Kneels

For ten years, Elara Moon lived as a nameless girl in the human district, bowing her head to wolves who thought she was beneath them.

They called her wolfless.
They called her orphan.
They called her useful only when someone needed a servant to blame.

But on the night the seven Alpha families gather to choose the next Moon Crown heir, they drag Elara into the hall as a sacrifice.

They expect her to kneel.

Instead, the ancient moon altar wakes beneath her feet.

And every wolf in the room hears the same impossible command whisper through their blood:

Bow to the First Luna.

Now the girl they humiliated is the woman their blood remembers. Ancient packs will kneel. Hidden enemies will rise. And the Lycan King who never bows to anyone may be the only man powerful enough to stand beside her.
