The Blood Moon Bond

Kael Voss, heir to the Silverfang dynasty, has been sculpted into the perfect Alpha—ruthless, strategic, bound by one sacred decree: on his ascension night, he must publicly reject his fated mate to prove his loyalty lies with the pack, not the heart. When the mate bond ignites under a blood moon, it does not tether him to a she-wolf but to Evander Duval, a vampire archivist whose scent of crushed roses and old parchment unravels every instinct Kael was taught to despise. Kael performs the brutal rejection before a howling audience, carving wounds deeper than silver. Weeks later, savage border attacks leave patrols drained of blood and wolfsbane, each side blaming the other. Forced into an uneasy truce, Kael and Evander trace the killings to a clandestine cabal of pack elders and vampire ancients who have fed centuries-old hatred to keep their power unchallenged. Together they navigate forged treaties, ancestral lies, and a bond that now thrums with a dangerous second heartbeat. Kael must choose between the throne he was raised to claim and a vampire who is no longer willing to be anyone's secret—while Evander holds the key to a ritual that could end the blood feud forever or burn them both to ash.
