Bound in Silver and Ash

Elara has spent five years believing she is the beloved mate of Alpha Damon, counting down to the marking ceremony that will make her his Luna. Then a fire leaves her scarred, and on her hospital bed — sedated but awake — she hears Damon calmly order a healer to inject silver and kill her wolf. The "accident" was arranged. The ceremony is a stage. Damon has a secret three-year-old son, Theo, with Vivienne, the woman he has always wanted, and he means to trap Elara as a wolfless Omega who can never leave the pack and raise his secret pup as her own. Elara says nothing. She plays the obedient, grateful mate while she quietly gathers proof from his safe, wipes herself from the pack registry, and arranges a healer and an escape to a foreign pack. She even offers Vivienne her place at the ceremony. On the day of the marking, Damon's Beta brings word that Elara's convoy was ambushed by rogues at the border — no survivors. It is a trap she staged herself: her flight has already landed overseas. Her "death" detonates the life Damon built on her ruin. His wolf refuses the bond with Vivienne; the pack elders gloat that Vivienne's foreign mate was always a lie, and Damon realizes he destroyed his true mate for a deception. He publicly names Elara his only Luna, strips and imprisons Vivienne, and searches obsessively. Meanwhile the foreign healer revives Elara's wounded wolf. When Damon finally trades half his Alpha power to a witch for a tracking spell and finds her, he only watches from the shadows, then leaves a blood-sealed vow never to see her again. The girl who loved him is gone — burned away with silver and betrayal.
