THE ALPHA'S RUIN

"Tell me, kitten," his voice was a dangerous whisper against my skin, "was I better than him?" My breath hitched as my back pressed against the cold stone wall. I shouldn’t be here. I shouldn’t want this. But Kieran’s scent, his touch—everything about him called to me in a way no one else ever had. "Kieran—" I started, but he tilted my chin up, forcing me to meet his gaze. "Don’t lie to me, Selene." His fingers traced the mark on my neck, the proof of our bond. "Because I remember last night perfectly. And so do you." — Selene Vale was meant to be a queen. Instead, she became a pawn in a war far greater than she ever imagined. Engaged to the ruthless Alpha Cassian Draeven, bound by duty to a pack that sees her as nothing more than a means to power, her fate seemed sealed—until one night changed everything. A masked festival. A stranger’s touch. A passion so fierce it threatened to burn her whole world down. Kieran Blackwood was supposed to be dead. The rightful Alpha, exiled and betrayed, has returned with vengeance in his heart and war in his blood. But when he discovers his fated mate—carrying his child and promised to his greatest enemy—revenge is no longer enough. Selene is his. She always has been. And he’ll tear the world apart to prove it. But the past is riddled with secrets, and the prophecy tied to their unborn child speaks of ruin. Love will be their greatest strength… or the weapon that destroys them all. A love lost to betrayal. A destiny rewritten by war. A bond that defies death itself. And in the end, fate demands a sacrifice
