“I reject you,” he says clearly. Loudly. Making sure everyone hears. “I, Ronan Nightbane, reject the false bond between us. I reject any claim you think you have on me.”

The words hit like lightning. The bond convulses. Twists. Begins to tear apart at the edges.

But it doesn't break. Can't break. Real bonds forged by the Moon Goddess are stronger than words. Stronger than denial.

She came to survive.

He was born to rule.

Fate made them mates.

And that’s where the nightmare began.

Evangeline has spent her life on the edge—unwanted, unclaimed, surviving in the shadows of Crescent Moon Pack.

An omega by blood, an outcast by choice.

She’s learned to keep her head down and her scars hidden.

When her dying uncle begs her to enroll at Blackclaw Academy—a school built on bloodlines, brutality, and unforgiving rules—she agrees.

For him, not for herself.

She expected whispers. Glares. Cruelty.

What she didn’t expect was Ronan Nightbane—the future Alpha. Cold. Untouchable. Worshipped. Feared.

And the one the Moon Goddess bound her soul to.

Being his mate should’ve meant protection. Belonging. Destiny.

But Ronan wants none of it.

He rejects her in front of everyone. Mocks her. Marks her as nothing more than a mistake.

But Evangeline doesn’t break.

Not for him. Not for anyone.

Because the power buried inside her was never meant to be found.

The truth in her blood could burn the entire pack system to the ground.

And Ronan—no matter how hard he fights it—can’t stay away.

Their bond is poisonous. Addictive. Dangerous.

And when war creeps closer and secrets claw their way into the light, he’ll have to make a brutal choice:

Reject her… or ruin them both.
