The Golden-Eyed Monster Was The Pure-Blood Luna

Golden-eyed Elara guards her pack's barrier, is betrayed and sold to a hidden prince, then fights for the crown.

Golden eyes mark Elara as a curse to her pack, yet they also reveal a hidden Pure-Blood Luna bloodline. An Alpha saves her and marries her to his son Darius, while she quietly sustains the magical barrier protecting the territory. Darius rejects her for her sister Sylvara, who falsely claims the Luna title, and traffickers sell Elara on the black market. Caelan, a concealed Lycan prince fleeing a brother who craves the crown, becomes her master. With the barrier crumbling and enemies gathering, Elara must claim her bloodline and decide who becomes king.
