Fated to the Dark Wolf King

Selene Hart, sole heir of the Silvermoon Pack, dies in neglected childbirth after her mate, Darkclaw Alpha Theron Blackwood, drains her fortune and chooses his mistress Sylvia. The Moon Goddess returns her five years. Selene wakes one month after mating Theron, remembering how he let her die.

Before the New Moon Ball, she remembers Sylvia copying her white dress in the past life and discards the custom dress. The ball itself ends with the Shadow Gorge auction. Selene bids; Theron calls the land worthless and refuses to pay. Draven Nightshade, Shadowmoon Alpha and Theron's sworn enemy, drives the bidding to four million. Selene wins Shadow Gorge.

To cover the price, Selene sells her mother's heirlooms and falls three hundred thousand short. She goes to Draven, who lends the money to Selene Hart herself, not to Darkclaw, and asks how she will repay him. After Theron learns of the loan, he warns her away from Draven. Selene formally rejects Theron as her mate. Theron offers the Harvest Moon Gala as her way back in; Selene agrees only if Sylvia is not there.

Sylvia shows up anyway. Theron does not send her away; he orders them to get her inside before she makes a bigger spectacle. Inside, Sylvia insults an old man without knowing he is Alpha Owen. Selene plays the Silvermoon war anthem. Draven approaches her; he mentions the piece and asks what changed. She refuses to let her pack be dishonored again. Outside, Sylvia attacks Draven’s pack as new and shady. Owen appears, identifies Draven as his grandson and sole heir of Harvest Moon, and orders Sylvia thrown out. Theron pleads for her. Draven does not stay for that; he postpones his meeting with the northern trade council and takes Selene home, calling her his "Creditor."

Later, Ron, a mercenary and bounty hunter, kidnaps Selene and demands ten billion plus Shadow Gorge. Ron rigs the chemical plant with explosives. Draven and Theron both arrive; Draven gets Selene out before the bomb blows. Selene tries to cancel her three-hundred-thousand debt because Ron is Draven's man. Draven refuses. Theron orders Draven away from his Luna, but Selene returns home and has decided to leave.

Evelyn, Theron’s mother, returns to Darkclaw and pushes Selene and Theron to act like a proper mated pair. Theron treats Selene as his property and refuses to let her study. Selene decides she will never let Theron father her children and commits to escaping and rebuilding Silvermoon. She proposes a partnership to Draven: she holds Silvermoon’s ancestor navigation charts through the swamp passage and needs capital and allies. To prove her worth, she plans to enroll at X Academy.

Theron discovers the application and forbids it. Selene takes the entrance exam and deliberately lands exactly on the passing line. She bets Theron on the shifting challenge: if she wins, he returns half of Silvermoon's assets and signs her independence; if she loses, she stays and bears his heirs. Theron signs. Selene asks Draven for a private training ring, citing Ron's attack as part of what Draven owes her. Draven agrees but warns that if she loses, their deal will not happen. Selene has no backup plan and will not lose.

At a Silvermoon family gathering, Selene remembers her parents and brother dying in the Rogue war and her uncle Ethan seizing the Alpha title with Amanda after claiming he was too sick to fight. Theron chooses Sylvia's birthday over attending with Selene and offers to sit with her for half an hour only if she drops the second round. Selene recalls her first life, when she begged Theron to save their child and received a cold birthing table while he was in Sylvia's arms. She goes on to master her power, outmatch her rivals, uncover the full plot, reclaim the Silvermoon Pack, and fall for Draven.
