The Hollow Moon

The Ironhowl Alpha rejects his own fated mate in front of the whole pack to keep his secret death from spreading into her through the bond — never knowing that the "curse-scar" she's been shunned for her entire life marks her as the one bloodline whose touch can cure the very sickness killing him.

Aria has spent her whole life as the moon-scarred omega of Ironhowl — the silver mark on her throat read as a curse, a reason to keep her at the back of every gathering. Then the Mating Moon lights the fated bond between her and Alpha Kael Ashford, and he rejects her in front of three hundred wolves. A severed bond is supposed to kill an unranked wolf. Aria survives — because the mark isn't a curse. It's the sign of the lost Silvercrest healing line, and her blood is the only thing that can cure the Hollowing, the wasting sickness rotting the packs from their alphas down. The sickness Kael has been hiding in his own body. He rejected her to keep from pouring his death into her through the bond, never knowing she's the cure. Now a rival alpha who's also dying wants to take that cure by force, pack law is closing around her like a snare, and the only way to save the man who broke her heart is to remake the bond he destroyed — if she can ever convince him to stop deciding her life for her and let her choose it herself.
