The Secret Alliance of the Lion Alpha and the Betrayed LunaChapter 1

I pushed open the carved stone door to Alpha Axton’s study, planning to surprise him with a warm midday feast. What I found instead knocked the breath from my chest.

My mate—my legally bonded Alpha—had Vanya Redmist pinned against his obsidian desk, their mouths fused together, his claws tangled in her midnight hair. Scrolls and territorial maps littered the ground like fallen leaves.
