I was born of the Silver Moon Pack. On the night of the Blood Moon, at the edge of the forest, I saved a wolf who was gravely wounded by a silver weapon and on the brink of death. He was from the Red Fang Pack, our sworn enemies. I couldn't bear to watch him die, so I defied my pack's laws. I used moonpetal and a forbidden blood bond ritual to share my life force with him, nursing him back to health. I named him Caleb. For him, I betrayed my pack and became his mate. I was on my way to share the good news, the healer's confirmation of my pregnancy clutched in my hand, when I found him locked in a passionate embrace with my adopted sister, Selene, in the park. I overheard them plotting. Once I gave birth to his child and my power was drained by the pregnancy, they would sacrifice me in the "Redemption Ritual." Only then did I understand.

But he didn't know that I possess a special bloodline. Bonding with a rival Alpha only makes my own power grow stronger.
