An Alpha rejects her fated mate to pursue a King, unaware her power is borrowed.
Frostfang Alpha Isla discards her fated mate Kael before the entire pack, branding him wolfless to clear a path toward the Lycan King's crown. Kael answers with quiet acceptance and steps across the boundary stone alone. While Isla battles rivals in the brutal Luna Trials, the authority she wields is revealed as unearned. The King she courts has observed her ambition from far closer than she suspects, and the mate she cast aside holds the key to everything collapsing around her.
