A mate is forever. Until they reject you… Luna is sick of being an outcast. As the illegitimate daughter of a high-ranking official and her mother gone, she’s never felt wanted. Finding her fated mate was supposed to change everything. She’s known for six years that she and Marnet are mates, and tonight at the MoonMate ceremony, it’s time for him to stop acting like a playboy alpha and claim her as his. Only he does the exact opposite and humiliates her publicly with his brutal rejection. Then Luna is taken by Remus, another alpha whose clan launches a surprise attack during the ceremony. He’s captured all the other alphas except one—Marnet. Now Luna has a choice. Lead the enemy to Marnet or protect her mate. Remus treats her better than Marnet ever did, but Luna is convinced Remus is only using her to get what he wants. Marnet is still her mate. Although it wouldn’t be the first time she’s been wrong about love…

They’re on enemy sides, and he’s determined to win the battle for her heart… After being rejected by her fated mate, Luna knows better than to trust her heart. Now Remus, the alpha of a rival clan, is making a move for her affections. Luna knows their attraction is dangerous. But when Remus reveals that her mother, who she thought was long dead, is still alive, she decides to risk going with Remus to his territory in search of answers. In Texas, she discovers an entire family that she never knew about. Although not everyone is happy about the mother-daughter reunion and Luna is treated with suspicion. Once again, she feels like an outcast, especially when Remus is under increasing pressure to distance himself from her and search for his mate. Taking his eyes off the enemy proves to be a mistake, and he learns too late that rivals exist where he least expected. Leaving Luna caught directly in the middle…
