Calla grew up an orphan until a rogue named Nico took her in. On a full-moon night she stumbles into Kael, the Wolf King, mid-estrus, and he marks her as his destined Luna with a token and a promise. Then Nico falls gravely ill, and the surgery bill lands in her hands with no way to pay it.
She goes to Kael for the money, but she can't tell him why — Nico's family was exiled from the Blood Moon Pack for betrayal. Kael reads her silence as greed and makes her sign a three-year contract as his kept woman. Three years of love curdled by misunderstanding follow, and when the contract ends, he's set to marry another Wolf King's daughter. Calla plans to walk away, then finds out she's pregnant.
