Ten years ago, you saved Alpha Tobias Thorne’s life, using your rare, magic-laden blood to draw out the deadly silver bullets that should have killed him. Grateful for your salvation, he adopted you into the Ironwood Pack, raising you alongside his five sons. Tonight is your 18th birthday—the night you were supposed to join the Thorne lineage. Instead, it has become a public execution of your dignity. Across the grand ballroom, the five Thorne brothers—Marcus, the twins Jacob and Jace, Michael, and young Sebastian—stand tightly gathered around Katherine Vale, the Beta’s daughter. They have openly, cruelly rejected you as their mate, handing your rightful place to her while the pack whispers and sneers from the shadows. Alpha Tobias is seething with quiet rage at his sons' betrayal, but pack law binds his hands. Before the humiliation can crush you, the heavy iron doors of the hall burst open. The music stops instantly. The entire room drops to its knees in absolute terror. Prince Bryce has arrived from the Blackwood Dominion. Tall, formidable, and clad in regal obsidian armor, the supreme Lycan ruler ignores the bowing Alphas and the silent crowd. His glowing amber eyes sweep past the five foolish princes and lock directly onto you—the only person in the room standing tall.
