The Queen No Alpha Can Command

“"Kneel." Two hundred wolves knelt when their Alpha gave the command. Elara Voss did not. Minutes earlier, Kael Thornwood had found his mate - and rejected her in front of the entire Silvercrest Pack. "I need a Luna who can shift," he said. "Not a wolfless Omega who will shame this pack." A wolfless Omega does not resist an Alpha's Command. A wolfless Omega does not cut the mate bond herself, renounce her pack, and walk into exile on her own feet. Elara did all three - and in the Borderlands, hunted by her own pack and left to die, her wolf finally woke. She was never wolfless. She is a white Direwolf, last of the Moon Queen's bloodline. No Alpha can command her. And she can do what no ruler in two hundred years has been able to do: She can break an Alpha's command over any wolf - and set them free. Five years later, the rejected, the exiled and the wolfless have a queen of their own. Elara rules the Ashen Court, the one pack where no wolf has ever been forced to kneel. Now Silvercrest is losing a war it cannot win, and Kael must come begging to the court he created - and kneel before the mate he threw away. Beside her stands Darius Ashen, the Lycan King. He cannot command her either. If he wants her, he will have to do what no king has ever done: Ask. He rejected her. His pack hunted her. Now every Alpha in the north will learn the same lesson she taught Kael that night - this queen kneels to no one.”
