Zira, daughter of the Moon Goddess
Born beneath a celestial omen, Zira entered the world as a child of destiny—a girl foretold to reshape the balance of power among the werewolf packs. But destiny came with a price. Fearing the cruelty and expectations of the world, her parents sealed her immense powers at birth, a seal that cracked a little more each year as danger grew closer.
When tragedy strikes and her parents are killed, Zira and her younger sister Hazel are taken to another pack, where they are treated as burdens rather than survivors. With her power sealed and suppressed, Zira appears weak, earning scorn from those who see only what she allows them to see. She learns to endure humiliation, hiding both her strength and her growing fractures—because if the seal breaks too soon, the world may not be ready for what awakens.
As she comes of age, Zira faces another heartbreak: her destined mate rejects her, unable to see past her supposed weakness. The rejection nearly shatters her, but it also becomes the final blow that cracks the ancient seal restraining her true nature.
In the midst of her pain stands Kael, her childhood friend—the one person who always believed in her. He has loved her silently for years and now, seeing her broken, he steps forward to claim the place in her heart her mate threw away. But as Zira’s dormant powers surge to life and secrets about her destiny unfold, she must choose between the path fate carved for her… and the one she is strong enough to make for herself.
