A war veteran suspects the Luna of his pack is an impostor when she eats a food that should kill her.
After three months in the Rogue Wars, the protagonist arrives at Blood Moon Pack expecting a reunion with Selene, the Luna he grew up beside. She gave him a single, unbending rule before he left: almonds would kill her, so anyone eating them could not be her. At the welcome feast, the woman wearing Selene's face, scent, and memories casually chews the nuts and uses their private childhood nickname. The warning came from Selene herself and was never wrong, leaving the soldier to confront an impossible duplicate and the question of where the real Luna has gone.
