Five years ago, Lycan King heir Rylan Wolfe shattered Aiden Blackthorn's heart with a cold, public rejection, exiling his gentle latent stepbrother for the sake of his crown.

Aiden rebuilt his life in the human world, burying the immense, volatile shifter power he carried. But one night of desperate, anonymous passion shatters his fragile peace, leaving him irrevocably bound to Rylan-and miraculously pregnant with the rare Moon-Blessed Scion.

Now, Rylan drags Aiden back to the compound, not as a lover, but as a guarded political asset. He's trapped: forced to live in agonizing proximity to the Alpha whose possessive heat is overwhelming, but whose loyalty lies strictly with his pack. Rylan must hide their forbidden mpreg secret from his tyrannical father and the ruthless Lycan Council, knowing the child's destiny could ignite a world war.

When Rylan is forced to make the ultimate choice between his legacy and his mate, he commits a devastating act of betrayal to save Aiden's life. But his sacrifice backfires catastrophically.

Feeling utterly destroyed, Aiden forges a dangerous pact with a demon, gaining the ruthless, dominating power of the Ecliptic Wolf. The gentle, fearful mate is replaced by the cold, calculating Shadow Alpha-a terrifying force who no longer needs Rylan's protection.

Now exiled, Rylan must track his mate, realizing he didn't save Aiden's life; he traded his soul. The only way to redeem himself is to confront the dominant, vengeful creature he created and fight a demon to heal the heart he broke.

Can the Lycan King survive the vengeance of the mate he betrayed?
