Bound by fate, torn by pride—nothing will keep me from claiming what’s mine.

This is a time jump--After Healing Hazel.

TORIN
Fifteen years have passed since Meekah of Zohar Pride took Nala away from me. My fated mate, my reason for breathing. The separation was necessary—she needed to learn control over her lion—but the loss has hollowed me.

I've spent these years building my House of Boker, the first truly diverse supernatural pack in Wintermoon's history. I've secured a position at the Academy, constructed a home worthy of my mate, and established myself as alpha. Everything is in place.

Now it's time to bring Nala home where she belongs.

NALA
I've spent fifteen years believing Torin rejected me, trying to build a life among lions when my heart belongs to a wolf. Meekah became the father I needed, but Zohar Pride has never truly accepted me—a lioness fated to a wolf.

When Torin reappears in my life, the mate bond flares stronger than ever. But becoming Luna to a pack that includes Cyra—the wolf shifter who still bears my claw marks—won't be easy. My lion remains unpredictable, dangerous when provoked.

As the time for our reunion finally arrives, I must make a remain with the pride that raised me or embrace the destiny written in my soul since childhood—to stand beside my wolf as his equal, his Luna, the mother of his children.

But when old rivalries resurface and pack tensions rise, we'll discover if our love is strong enough to bridge two worlds.

This book explores some minor dark themes. Please review the content warnings before continuing.
