Claiming His Hidden Mate and Pup

Sophia Carter's pack gave her a choice: get an abortion or get out. She chose her baby. Cast out of the Moon Vale pack with nothing, she became a rogue and raised her son Ethan alone.

Years later, Alpha Lucian Harrington's father uses a moon goddess crystal to track down a hidden heir — and the trail leads straight to Ethan. Lucian needs a guardian for the boy he's just discovered, and by chance, Sophia walks into his mansion to apply. Neither of them knows the child they're fighting over is theirs. The recognition flickers at the edge of their awareness — Lucian finds her oddly familiar, and Sophia can't shake the same feeling — but the truth stays buried.

What isn't buried is Vanessa Reid's hostility. As Lucian's fiancée, she sees Sophia as a threat from the start, belittling her in the street, mocking Ethan as a bastard, and finally crossing a line no one should cross. She shoots Ethan with a poisoned arrow, locks him away, and leaves him gasping through an asthma attack. Sophia, powerless and desperate, begs on her knees for the key while her son fades. Lucian arrives just in time to witness the horror — and to set in motion a reckoning none of them saw coming.

From that moment, the fragile ties between Sophia and Lucian begin to tighten into something undeniable. Vanessa fights harder to drive them apart, but every move she makes only pulls them closer to the truth. Will they figure out what they are to each other before it's too late?
