The bond that should have united them is killing her instead—black veins spreading up her arm, marking her as a rejected mate slowly dying from the inside out. When Luna loses the baby and Alpha Dominic accuses her of murdering his heir, she does the only thing she can: she offers him her rejection, a chance for them both to sever the toxic bond and survive. But Dominic refuses, trapping her in a connection that's rotting her from the soul outward, and she doesn't understand why he'd rather watch her waste away than let her go. As the necrosis spreads and pack secrets begin surfacing, Luna realizes the night she lost everything might not have been the tragedy she remembers. Now she's racing against her own dying body to uncover the truth—because the Alpha who rejected her heart won't release her life, and in the world of wolves, that means he's either her destroyer or her salvation.
