She was sold like an object. He bought her like a possession. But fate had other plans. After rogues destroyed their pack, Gwen barely escaped with her younger sister, Freya. She sacrificed everything to give Freya a better life—until betrayal shattered everything. Freya’s debts came due, and to pay them off, she sold Gwen to human traffickers. Put on display like property, Gwen was auctioned off to the highest bidder. Seth Valdez—ruthless billionaire and feared Alpha of the Runeblood Pack—never planned to take a slave. But when he discovered Gwen was a rare Moonbane hybrid, his wolf refused to let her go. Bound by chains and fate, Gwen soon realized the truth: they were mates. But Seth wanted nothing to do with a hybrid. He rejected her, stripping her of everything and branding her as nothing more than a servant. Alone and broken, Gwen had only one choice: escape. But fate wasn’t done with her. A darkness she never knew existed awakened inside her. A child she never expected changed everything. And a past buried in magic refused to stay forgotten. As enemies close in and old powers rise, Gwen must decide—will she fight for her destiny, or let others decide it for her?
