He rejected her in front of the entire pack. She fled with his child growing inside her. Now she's back?and he has 42 days to break an ancient curse or lose them both forever.

Three years ago, Alpha Holt Redgrave chose duty over destiny and shattered the mating bond with Anwen Brookshire in a moment of devastating pride. She vanished that same night, taking more than just his heart.

Now Anwen has returned to Shadowpine Territory with a secret that could destroy them all: a two-year-old daughter with dangerous powers and a prophecy hanging over her head. But Holt is cursed?transforming slowly into a mindless beast that will slaughter everything he loves unless Anwen agrees to complete three deadly blood trials to rebind their broken bond.

Forced together by dark magic and impossible stakes, they must navigate treacherous pack politics, a rival Alpha hunting their child, and a memory-stealing enemy manipulating from the shadows. As forbidden attraction reignites and trust fractures with each revelation, one question remains: Can love survive the weight of betrayal, or will the solstice claim them all?

When the past bleeds into the present and loyalty wars with love, some bonds can only be forged in fire?or blood.
