While her half-sister Celeste shines as the pack's beloved princess, Isla scrubs floors, endures whispers, and counts the days until her eighteenth birthday when she can finally leave Silvermoon Pack forever. Freedom is seventy-two hours away when her wolf awakens. And the mate bond slams into place, connecting her to Rowan Blackwater —future Alpha, Celeste's perfect fiancé, and the golden boy who made Isla's childhood a nightmare. He's the one who led the pack kids in tormenting her, who turned blind eyes to her suffering, who represents everything she's learned to hate. Isla does the only thing that makes sense: she publicly rejects him in front of the entire pack. She expects relief. Instead, she gets obsession. Suddenly, the Alpha heir who barely acknowledged her existence is everywhere —breaking into her room, sabotaging her escape plans, cornering her in dark hallways, declaring she belongs to him and him alone. He claims the bond "opened his eyes." That he sees her now. That he'll burn down anyone who tries to take her away—including Celeste. But Isla knows better. Wolves don't change overnight.

It triggered a countdown to war. Because Rowan Blackwater doesn't lose. And he certainly doesn't lose his mate to a sister who's been poisoning her for eighteen years or to the rival pack that's been hunting Isla since birth. Now Isla must choose: Run and let everyone discover what she's truly worth when she's gone, or stay and fight for a bond she never wanted with a male she's not sure she can trust—but might be the only one who's ever truly seen her. Because sometimes the cruelest twist of fate becomes the greatest love story. And sometimes the boy who broke you is the only one who can make you whole.

This is a story about what happens when a girl who lost everything decides to take it all back and has to figure out if justice is worth losing herself completely. It's about betrayal, revenge, and the terrifying question: can you fight monsters without becoming one?
