Lena has spent her entire life believing she is nothing special.She is a low-ranking wolf in Moonridge Pack, the kind of woman powerful wolves barely notice, and she has long accepted that her life will never amount to much. So when the Alpha's son's coronation arrives and Lena discovers that Lucien, the future Alpha, is her fated mate, she thinks the Moon Goddess has finally given her the one thing she has always wanted.Then Lucien looks her in the eyes and rejects her in front of the entire pack.Worse, his beautiful fiancée is already standing beside him.Heartbroken and humiliated, Lena runs into the forest, determined to disappear before anyone can see her cry. Instead, she finds a man who should not be there waiting beneath the trees.The Dragon King.Kael has ruled the most feared kingdom in the supernatural world for centuries, and he has been watching Lena for far longer than she ever realized. He offers her something Lucien never could: a crown, a kingdom, and a place beside him as his queen.Lena thinks the Dragon King is only offering her an escape.She doesn't know that the moment he kisses her, an ancient mark awakens beneath her skin.She doesn't know that her dead mother carried a bloodline the wolves and dragons have spent centuries trying to erase.And she certainly doesn't know that Kael has known the truth about her since the night she was born.But when her rejected wolf mate comes crawling back, claiming he never stopped loving her, Lena finds herself trapped between two men who would burn kingdoms for her.One is the wolf fate chose.The other is the Dragon King who chose her long before fate ever had the chance.Then an old prophecy begins coming true.A prophecy that says two kings will claim one woman, one man will have to die, and a child carrying two ancient bloodlines will either destroy both kingdoms or unite them forever.As jealous queens, murderous fathers, political alliances and ancient enemies close in around her, Lena must decide whether she is merely the prize everyone is fighting over or whether she has been the key to the entire war from the beginning.Because the greatest secret isn't that Lena is not human.It's that the future of both kingdoms may depend on the child she has not even given birth to yet.And before the war is over, Lena will have to choose between the mate who broke her heart...and the king who taught her that love can be a choice.
