Crowned by the Cursed King

At the Blue Moon mating ceremony, Alpha Rylan publicly rejects half-blood omega Selene and sacrifices her to the black altar—until the stone cracks and a clawed hand pulls her down.

Selene wakes in the tomb beneath the altar, where the awakened Alpha King Kael claims her as his fated mate and reveals the pack used her as a sacrifice.

Kael announces himself as the true Alpha King and marks Selene as his queen, while Rylan and Margot vow to break their bond.
