Luna of the alpha king

Sable Ashborne is a border wolf from a pack that survives by staying small and staying quiet—until the night a stranger watches her from the tree line and the air itself tastes like old power. Three months later, a summons arrives from Caius Draeven, Alpha King of Ironmount, calling unmated females to his fortress… and Sable realizes the tribute he wants isn’t grain or pelts. It’s her. Inside Ironmount’s cold stone walls, Sable is treated like a low-valley inconvenience—until the king’s gaze keeps finding her, and the fortress starts to feel less like a selection and more like a test built for one wolf alone. Then the truth surfaces: generations ago, in ash and blood, the border packs swore an old vow—one that promised firstborn females to the Ironmount line when the kingdom “needed strengthening.” Sable wasn’t invited to compete. She was called in to be collected. Sable refuses to be anyone’s debt.But Ironmount has sharper traps than court politics. The mate bond doesn’t pull where it’s supposed to. The moon’s question points at the king’s Blade instead of the king himself—an impossible twist that could get her killed if anyone decides tradition matters more than truth. As elders tighten their grip, old laws rise, and rivals circle, Sable is forced to choose what kind of Luna she will be: a crown-wearing ornament… or a wolf who drags buried secrets into daylight and makes kings earn the right to stand beside her.   Luna of the alpha king is a gritty, emotional werewolf romance of old-moon fate, blood oaths, and a border-born heroine who refuses to kneel—no matter how heavy the crown, or how dangerous the king.
