Marked by the Alpha's Moon

She freezes rooms without trying. He kneels without permission. Her magic was a secret. His submission was a scandal.

Kiara Vance has spent her whole life being underestimated - the quiet witch who runs the cafe at the edge of Blackthorn territory, the girl who keeps her magic small and her head down. She knows exactly what she is. She's just wrong about half of it.

Kael Ashwood has never knelt for anyone. He's an Alpha built on command, certain that every wolf in his territory will yield the second he raises his voice. He's spent ten years being obeyed without question.

Then he looks across a room full of hopeful wolves at his own Mate Choosing Ceremony - and finds himself wanting to kneel to the caterer.

She freezes things she doesn't mean to freeze. He goes quiet in ways that terrify his own pack. Her power was never supposed to touch his kind; his kind was never supposed to bow to anything. But some bonds don't ask permission - and the moment his voice drops for her and only her, every wolf in the room understands they're witnessing something that isn't supposed to exist.

She was raised to hide her power. He was raised to never surrender his. Between them: a silence neither of them chose, a pull neither of them can outrun, and a secret three hundred years in the making that's about to burn Blackthorn territory to the ground.
