The Alpha's Forbidden Mate

Lyra is held captive by the Alpha who destroyed her family and is about to be forced into marriage. His son Asher intervenes, killing his father and claiming her, and their fated bond flares to life. But Asher keeps Lyra hidden and publicly takes the politically advantageous Luna Selene as his mate, a choice meant to protect Lyra but one that leaves her isolated and vulnerable. Selene's jealousy curdles into savage torture, and Asher's only recourse is to feign cruelty toward Lyra to conceal his real feelings. The deception holds until Selene and Asher's brother Garrick launch a coup that plunges the pack into war. In the conflict's crucible, Lyra discloses she is the lost daughter of an Alpha, a revelation that turns the tide and leads her to kill Garrick herself. Selene is banished, and Lyra is crowned as Asher's equal.
