Wild Moon Rising: The Alpha's Forbidden Mate

Keira Blackthorn thought being the first female Alpha in five generations would be her greatest challenge. She was wrong. The real challenge? Discovering her fated mate is Cade Silverclaw, the rival Alpha whose pack has hated hers for a century. The man currently holding a blade to her throat during failed peace talks. The same man whose scent makes her wolf howl with desperate need. Pack law is absolute. Two Alphas cannot mate. The bond is considered an abomination, a weakness that destroys pack hierarchy. If their connection is exposed, both will be stripped of their titles and exiled. But Keira has bigger problems. Her own Beta just attempted a coup, broadcasting her "shameful attraction" to Silverclaw across every pack in the region. Now she's fighting to keep her position while her body screams for a mate she's forbidden to claim. Cade should walk away. Political marriages are arranged for Alphas, not fated bonds. Especially not with the female Alpha whose father killed his mother during the last pack war. Instead, he makes her an offer she can't refuse. A fake political alliance. Live in his territory for three months to prove pack unity. Convince everyone the bond is just strategic convenience. Three months of pretending they don't burn for each other. Three months of sleeping in separate rooms while the mate bond tries to claw them together. Three months before they both lose control. Her former Beta is plotting her permanent removal. His pack elders are arranging his marriage to another Alpha's daughter. And the ancient enemy hunting all werewolves just found the perfect weapon: two Alphas whose forbidden bond makes them vulnerable. They thought they could fight fate. Fate had other plans.
