Once the cherished daughter of the powerful Winters Pack Alpha and Luna, Celeste thought she had everything—a loving family, a protective brother, and a perfect future mate in Alexander, who was the strongest warrior in the country, the same man she had loved for ten years. But her world shattered at age fourteen when she found that she had been switched at birth with Scarlett, the pack's true heir. Though her parents promised she would always be their daughter, their love proved hollow when Scarlett offended the Alpha King. Without hesitation, they sacrificed Celeste to take the blame, throwing her into the notorious Moon Shadow Prison. For four years, she endured torture with silver chains and wolfsbane, leaving her body so scarred she could no longer shift. Even her fiancé Alexander was quickly betrothed to Scarlett, completing her abandonment. Now free but irreversibly changed, Celeste plans to sever all ties with the pack that betrayed her. But the pack that once abandoned her now begs for forgiveness, and Alexander, the most powerful warrior in the country, makes an impossible offer: "I'll leave everything behind if you'll let me follow you." Her response cuts deeper than any silver chain: "I don't want you with me." As ancient prophecies stir and her unusual connection to pack magic grows stronger, Celeste discovers her true heritage may be more significant than anyone suspected. But will this revelation come too late to save her from the cruel fate being woven by those who once claimed to love her?

My Alpha King mate Ethan Stone didn't know that our four-year-old daughter Lily suffered from kidney failure. Before her surgery, her greatest wish was for her father to take her to the amusement park on her birthday. She wanted to spend time with him alone. I knelt before Ethan Stone, begging him to fulfill our daughter's wish. He promised he would. But on her birthday, Lily waited in the cold wind for him. She waited until she coughed up blood and fainted, yet he never showed up. Her condition worsened, and the emergency treatment failed. Before she died, she asked me with tears in her eyes, "Mommy, why does Daddy like Victoria's daughter Emma but not me? Am I not good enough?" My daughter left this world with regret in her heart! From her small hand fell a phone, playing a video. In the video, her father had rented out the largest amusement park in town and was celebrating a birthday with Victoria's daughter. After her daughter died, Olivia completely gave up and left Ethan, but the high-handed Alpha King looked for Olivia all over the world, begging her to give him another chance.
