“Get out of my house!” her father roared.
Five years ago, Anastasia Tillman was dragged down the stairs and called a disgrace. Her stepsister cried fake tears. Her stepmother smiled. Her own father slapped her and disowned her without listening to a single word.
She was accused of selling her body for money.
She tried to speak.
No one believed her.
That same night, she walked away from her pack with nothing but a small suitcase… and a secret growing inside her.
The Alpha’s child.
Five years later, she returns   not as the broken girl they threw away, but as a quiet, successful woman raising a brilliant little boy on her own.
She does not want revenge.
She does not want their money.
She only wants peace.
But fate is cruel.
The powerful Alpha who once held her in the dark is now her boss.
He does not remember her face.
But when he stands close to her, his wolf stirs.
Because he remembers her scent.
The girl who trembled beneath him.
The girl whose tears he never forgot.
There is only one problem.
Another woman has already claimed to be that girl.
And the Alpha believes her.
Now Anastasia must work under the man who unknowingly fathered her son… while watching another woman try to take her place.
She will not beg.
She will not chase.
But when the truth comes out   when the Alpha learns that the quiet little boy with silver-blue eyes is his heir  
The entire kingdom will shake.
Because the girl they threw away…
Is the Luna they can’t live without.

I let my senses guide me as I moved through the hall, plate in hand, wolf instincts quietly humming beneath my human guise. Until I meet Old Madam Presgrave, I can take my time, I thought, letting the pack's hierarchy reassure me—my father had Jared covered, so I could linger here, claiming my space and savoring the bounty laid before me. Each bite of food felt almost sacred, a grounding ritual amid the swirling energy of Alphas and influential pack members. I could feel the subtle vibrations of dominance and mate energy radiating from those around me, every movement, every glance carefully measured.
