The static-laced call from Matthew was a punch to the gut. He was my partner, my 'boyfriend,' and he was supposedly captured by El Martillo's cartel. He demanded I bring half a million dollars, alone, to a remote warehouse, promising it was the only way to save him. I threw protocol out the window, raced through the Arizona heat, and walked into that dusty, desolate building, ready to face a cartel for him. But Matthew wasn't tied up or bruised. He was perfectly fine, and he took the money I'd risked my life for, handing it to El Martillo's enforcer. Then, with a chillingly calm voice, he pointed at me and said, "And here's a bonus for El Martillo. She's a top-tier artist. Now let me go." The world tilted. My partner, the man I thought I loved, had sold me out. Before I could process the betrayal, his fist connected with my face, a brutal blow that knocked me to the ground. El Martillo's men closed in, ready for a "welcome party" that meant my agonizing end. As their boots slammed into me, I saw a familiar tattoo on one of their necks-a coyote. My coyote. A design only one other person should know in such detail. Hope, sharp and desperate, cut through the pain. This wasn't the end. This was the beginning of my real mission.

Introduction

The static-laced call from Matthew was a punch to the gut.

He was my partner, my 'boyfriend,' and he was supposedly captured by El Martillo's cartel.

He demanded I bring half a million dollars, alone, to a remote warehouse, promising it was the only way to save him.

I threw protocol out the window, raced through the Arizona heat, and walked into that dusty, desolate building, ready to face a cartel for him.

But Matthew wasn't tied up or bruised.

He was perfectly fine, and he took the money I'd risked my life for, handing it to El Martillo's enforcer.

Then, with a chillingly calm voice, he pointed at me and said, "And here's a bonus for El Martillo.

She's a top-tier artist.

Now let me go."

The world tilted.

My partner, the man I thought I loved, had sold me out.

Before I could process the betrayal, his fist connected with my face, a brutal blow that knocked me to the ground.

El Martillo's men closed in, ready for a "welcome party" that meant my agonizing end.

As their boots slammed into me, I saw a familiar tattoo on one of their necks-a coyote.

My coyote.

A design only one other person should know in such detail.

Hope, sharp and desperate, cut through the pain.

This wasn't the end.

This was the beginning of my real mission.

To the outside world, I was the envy of every she-wolf as the fiancée of Alpha Kael. But inside the gilded cage of his pack house, I was a ghost. I molded myself into perfection for him, wearing the colors he liked and suppressing my own voice. Until I walked past his study and saw him with Lyra—the orphan he called his "sister." His hand rested intimately on her thigh as he laughed, telling her, "Elara is just a political necessity. You are the moon in my sky." My heart shattered, but the physical blow came days later. During a training exercise, the safety cable snapped. I fell twenty feet, shattering my leg. Lying in the dirt, gasping through the pain, I watched my Fated Mate run. Not to me. He ran to Lyra, who was burying her face in his chest, feigning terror. He comforted her while I bled. Later, in the infirmary, I heard him whisper to her, "She won't die. It will just teach her who the real Luna is." He knew. He knew she had sabotaged the rope with silver, and he was protecting her attempted murder. The final thread of my love incinerated into ash. The next morning, I walked into the Council Hall, threw a thick file on the table, and looked the Elders in the eye. "I am dissolving the engagement," I stated coldly. "And I am withdrawing my family's silver supply. I will starve this Pack until you beg." Kael laughed, thinking I was bluffing. He didn't notice the lethal Beta from the rival pack standing in the shadows behind me, ready to help me burn Kael's kingdom to the ground.
