Born an omega in the Silvercrest Pack, Aria Winters knew her place—at the bottom.

But the Moon Goddess had a cruel sense of humor: she was fated to be the mate of Alpha Daemon Crest, the golden boy destined to lead their pack to glory. For three years, Daemon used her in secret. He took her body in darkness, whispered false promises of a future together, then paraded other she-wolves on his arm by daylight. "You're omega trash," he'd say coldly. "Did you really think I'd make you my Luna?" When Daemon announced his chosen mate—Aria's former best friend, the beautiful beta Celeste—Aria's world shattered.

But when he carried the bloodied omega to his castle, something awakened in the ancient king. His Lycan recognized what others missed: this broken girl was no ordinary omega.

Realizing too late what he's lost, he declares war to reclaim his "mate," willing to destroy kingdoms to possess her again.
