Chapter One

Rejected by her fated mate. Forced into a political game she never asked for. Kiera came south to make peace but now she might be the spark that starts a war.

When Alpha Dax rejects her in front of the Council, Kiera's carefully controlled world shatters. But she's not just some arctic wolf meant to be cast aside. Behind her silence is a power no one has seen coming and a determination that could reshape everything.

As betrayal brews and alliances fracture, Kiera must decide: survive in the shadows... or rise and take control of her fate.

The cold never broke her. But his rejection might.
