Power is not given. It is taken. And Lilith Luna Dusk is ready to take it all. Five years ago, she was nothing, just a lost girl, drowning in the blood of a fallen pack, saved by a man who would one day become her greatest weakness. Now, she is a name whispered in fear, a force that built an empire from the ashes of her past. Ruthless. Untouchable. Cursed. But power is never enough. Not when the ghosts of her past still breathe. Not when fate plays its cruelest hand. At the Blackthorn Pack’s Moon Banquet, two men lay claim to her. Kade Draven—Alpha of Blackthorn, a calculating predator who calls her his mate. A man whose intentions are shrouded in secrets, whose ambition mirrors her own. Damon Volkova—the one who saved her, the one who still lingers in the shadows of her memories. The one whose very name sets her wolf on edge. The one she swore to never need again. One holds the key to her vengeance. The other, to a fate she refuses to accept. As enemies close in, alliances shift, and prophecies whisper of doom, Lilith must decide: Will she break the curse before it consumes her? Will she bow to fate—or defy it? And when the game of power turns deadly, who will be left standing? One thing is certain—the world will either kneel before her, or burn at her feet.

Excerpt: The dim glow of the city lights cast jagged shadows across Adrian’s sharp features as he leaned against the edge of his desk, arms crossed, his gaze a storm of suspicion and something darker—something far more dangerous. Valeria stood across from him, her expression an intoxicating mix of defiance and amusement. She had perfected the art of playing innocent, but tonight, something in Adrian’s eyes made her heart pound in warning. “You’re up to something,” he said, voice low and measured, like the edge of a blade pressing against silk. She arched a brow, taking slow, deliberate steps toward him, her heels clicking against the hardwood floor. “Oh?” she mused, tilting her head. “And what exactly am I up to, amore mio?” Adrian’s jaw tightened. “You tell me.” A slow smirk curled her lips as she invaded his space, her fingers lightly grazing the lapel of his jacket. “You don’t have proof.” His eyes darkened, flicking down to where her fingers toyed with the fabric. “I don’t need proof,” he murmured. “I see it in your eyes. The way you watch me. Like you’re calculating your next move.” Valeria chuckled, the sound soft, teasing. “And here I thought you were the one watching me.” She dragged her nails lightly down his chest, feeling the way his muscles tensed beneath his tailored suit. “You want proof?” His hand shot out, gripping her wrist, but his touch wasn’t rough—it was deliberate, commanding. “Yes.” His voice dropped lower, nearly a whisper. “Prove it.” The challenge hung between them, thick with tension. Her pulse hammered in her throat, but she didn’t hesitate. She reached up, her fingers threading into his dark hair as she closed the space between them, her lips grazing his—soft, testing, before she deepened it.
