Book One of The Alpha's Legacy Series by F. R. Moore
When the moons bleed silver, the gods will demand blood.
Freya Rougarou was never meant to survive. A forgotten orphan and the lowest-ranked omega in Bridgehaven, she's spent her life unseen, unwanted, and unclaimed. But when a scarred Alpha with eyes like wildfire crosses her path, everything she thought she knew about herself-and her curse-begins to unravel.
Jackson Dryden isn't supposed to want her. Bound by duty to his pack and haunted by the ghosts of his bloodline, he sees something dangerous inside the fragile girl the others call worthless. Something ancient. Something the gods tried to erase.
When Freya's blood awakens under the light of the bleeding moons, the prophecy buried for centuries ignites once more:
"Born of fire, lies, and wings hidden in shadow..."
Now hunted by the very man who raised her, Freya must choose between the Alpha who stirs her soul and the darkness whispering her name. Inside her mind, a voice stirs-a wolf not of this world. And as her power grows, so does the truth about what she is: not Loup-Garou, not witch, but something in between. Something the gods fear.
In a world ruled by old laws and blood-bound fates, love can either break the curse or fulfill it.
When destiny comes for her, will Freya rise as the storm... or fall as the sacrifice?
