He's the brutal Alpha everyone fears. She's the Conduit sent to save him. Their bond might destroy them both. Aeloria wakes on a Blood Moon to find her village massacred and herself Chosen as a Conduit—magically bonded to the one wolf she despises most. Ravenor Draekhail has spent twenty years fighting a curse that's slowly driving him feral. His last Conduit died screaming in his arms. He swore he'd never let another woman close enough to suffer the same fate. But the Moon Goddess doesn't accept refusals. Their bond forms violently, against both their wills. Worse—it's ruptured. Broken in ways that should kill them both. Every touch destabilizes them. Every moment of intimacy brings Ravenor closer to the beast. Then Aeloria discovers the horrifying truth: the bonds aren't blessings. They're traps designed by a cosmic parasite who feeds on wolf suffering. Now they have three choices: Repair the bond and become slaves to the Moon's manipulation Let it shatter and die from the backlash Defy a goddess and break every rule of their world Some bonds are meant to save you. Theirs was designed to destroy them both.
