The Unmarked He-Wolf

A young she-wolf attends her coming-of-age ceremony hoping that Cedric, who promised to be her mate, will claim her at last. Instead he walks past her and chooses her stepbrother, Silas, leaving her humiliated and crushed. In that moment of desperation, Ronan, the Alpha of the Blackthorn Pack, steps forward and offers her his hand and his title as Luna, promising to cherish and protect her forever. For five years she lives in what she believes is real love, surrounded by affection and security.

Her world shatters when she overhears a conversation that reveals Ronan's true motive: he has kept her isolated and dependent on him solely so that she never returns home and threatens Silas's position. The cruel irony becomes clear. Silas now has everything she once wanted, Cedric as his mate and a child on the way. The love that she thought had saved her was nothing more than a calculated prison.

Facing a lifetime of being used as a tool to control her family's fate, the she-wolf makes a final decision. She will not stay trapped in someone else's shadow any longer. This time she will leave everything behind and disappear completely.
