Cynthia spent five years fighting for one thing: the Royal Academy's only spot. Then her fated mate Fred gave it to her frail stepsister, Emily. He said it was for the pack. Her stepmother called her selfish. Emily acted innocent. Cynthia saw right through all of it. So she cut the sacred bond herself, rejected her Alpha in front of the whole pack, and walked out. She thought she'd be facing fate alone. But the Moon Goddess had other plans. When she walks into the kingdom's arena, her real fated mate is up there waiting---Max, the Wolf King, watching from his throne. Her old love will kneel in regret. Her stepsister will lose everything. And Cynthia, the warrior they threw away, will rise all the way to Queen.
