They called her Ugly Luna before she ever wore the mark.

Rina was never meant to be Alpha Kade’s mate—at least, not in anyone’s dreams. Born with a crooked nose, sharp teeth, and a body that never fit the pack’s idea of beauty, she grew up as the pack’s quiet joke, their shameful thorn. When fate cruelly binds her to the feared and revered Alpha, her worst nightmare becomes reality: she is claimed, not out of love, but out of pride and obligation.

Crowned Luna against her will, Rina endures whispered insults, cold rejection, and a mate who sees her as a curse written by the moon itself. The bond burns in her chest, tying her heart to a man who would rather bleed than love her. In a pack that worships perfection and power, she is nothing more than a reminder of fate’s cruelty.

But humiliation has its limits.

When the truth shatters her last fragile hope, Rina makes a choice that changes everything—she runs. Into exile. Into the wild. Away from the Alpha who claimed her and the pack that broke her.

Yet fate is not finished.

The girl they mocked will not stay broken forever. The Luna they rejected will rise. And when she returns, she won’t be the pack’s shame.

She’ll be their reckoning.

The Rise and Return of the Ugly Luna is a dark, emotional werewolf romance about rejection, survival, and a woman who refuses to remain the victim of fate.
