Kendria lost everything. Her father and alpha, her brothers, and her pack were all but annihilated in a vicious takeover by a group of rogues. Fleeing for her life with her injured mother and a handful of loyal wolves, Kendria made her way deep into the treacherous mountains. Years later, Kendria is now nineteen and leads not only the leftover wolves from her old pack but many rogues that were unjustly cast out of their old packs. She’s trained hard and become a powerful warrior in her own right. She has put off trying to become a legitimate pack because of one thing: her mate. Being an alpha’s daughter, it is likely that her mate is an alpha or beta of another pack. The only way to legitimize her pack is to appeal to the Board of Elders at a Gathering, which are attended by alphas, betas, and powerful envoys from packs all over the nation. If she finds an alpha or beta mate in another pack, how could she abandon her people, the life that she worked so hard to build? Two words: she can’t. But they can’t go on without being officially recognized much longer, as the evil rogue wolves that took over her old pack lands continue to threaten her and others in the area. Finally, she gives in and travels to the Gathering at Harvest Moon, a pack that neighbors her old pack lands but refused to come to their aid in their time of need all those years ago. Full of mixed feelings of hope, apprehension, and bitterness, Kendria prepares to make her appeal to the elders for official pack status. Suddenly, it hits her. Fresh spruce and rainfall. She slowly turns to see a tall man with a chiseled face and stunning physique, breathing hard and staring right back at her. She recognizes him from her youth. It’s Rowan Fields, son of the alpha of Harvest Moon. The very pack that refused help hers when they needed it most. Oh no. “Mine,” he growls, striding forward and crushing her against his chest. Will Kendria accept her new mate? How will she do right by her mountain pack as Alpha if she is fated to be the Luna of another pack? Read to discover how Kendria’s story unfolds. --- Part of the Rising Realm Series* 1. Alpha Rising: Her Revenge (Completed) 2. Luna Rising: The Prophecy (Completed) 3.
