In a world where mate bonds are sacred and unbreakable, Thessara is the exception-the woman who rejected her fated mate.
Once destined to become Luna of the most powerful pack in the region, Thessara walked away after discovering her mate’s betrayal on the night of their claiming ceremony.
Branded as defective and unworthy of the Moon Goddess, she becomes an outcast, shunned by packs and hunted by rogues who see her as weak.
Sometime later, whispers spread across the territories about a brutal, sacred competition known as The Luna Survival Trials, an ancient ritual revived after centuries. The prize? Power over an entire territory and a place among the alphas. A second chance at a fated bind comes along as an incentive.
But the rules are merciless. Only unmated or rejected females may enter and survive physical trials where the moon goddess herself will judge the winner.
Among the Alpha observers overseeing the trials is Rhaegar, Thessara’s former mate. The man who betrayed her. The man who now wants her back. And they soon realize the bond between them was never broken.
Rgaegar insists he was forced to betray her in order to save the pack. Thessara doesn't care but the bond keeps pulling them together. Then, Another contender enters the picture: A ruthless Lycan King , immune to mate bonds, who becomes obsessed with Thessara, not as a mate but to be his queen.
Thessara must now make a choice between them or become something the world has never seen. A female alpha with no mate.
