Polly Walker is a cursed Luna with only three months to live.
Nine years ago, she thought meeting Alpha Murphy was a gift from the Moon Goddess. It turned out to be her descent into hell.
An orphaned Omega with no pack to claim her, Polly was never accepted by his family or his wolves. She became his shadow Luna—bound to him, bearing his children, but never acknowledged as his equal.
When their twins arrived eight years ago, she paid for her daughter's life with her own health. A desperate bargain with death itself. But instead of gratitude, she received only contempt. The pack called her a burden. A curse.
Even the man who should have protected her grew crueler. He paraded his mistress, Elowen, through their home while treating Polly like dirt beneath his shoes.
The day Murphy named Elowen his Luna, something inside Polly finally broke.
She asked for a divorce. With only three months left, she wanted to die with whatever dignity she had left.
They laughed. Told her she deserved to rot in loneliness and despair. That freedom was never meant for someone like her.
Then she met him.
Arthur Fairbairn. The Lycan King. A ruler who stands above all Alphas, the most powerful Lycan in all of England. They say his eyes are crimson—stained red by the blood of those he's slaughtered. No one dares meet his gaze.
Yet this king—cold, merciless, untouchable—has suddenly taken an interest in a dying Omega no one else wants.
Is it mere curiosity? Or does Polly's so-called "curse" hide something far more dangerous?
Either way, Polly has learned one thing:
If she survives, everyone who broke her will pay.
