On their bonding day, Alpha Louis Welch abandoned his fated mate, Catherine Erickson, running to his fragile Omega first love. For five years, Catherine had sacrificed everything for Louis—even taking a silver bullet to the chest—only to be mocked by his entire pack. When the first love framed her, Louis didn’t hesitate to slap Catherine hard, sneering, “Apologize to her!” Heartbroken, Catherine drank a witch’s potion to forcibly sever their fated bond. As she lay dying in a dark alley after an ambush, the doctor called Louis for emergency surgery consent. Yet, Louis only mocked over the phone: "Stop playing the victim and come back to apologize!" When her death certificate arrived, Louis’s world shattered. The agonizing backlash of the severed bond sent him into absolute madness, coughing up blood and losing his mind. He set aside all his Alpha dignity, kneeling until his forehead bled, crying for her return. But it was too late. Catherine didn't die. She woke up in her true home as the highborn princess and heiress of the powerful Snowfall Pack! This time, she is no longer his disposable hanger-on. More importantly, the ruthless and unyielding Alpha King, Rafael Steele, has stepped into her life, treating her like a priceless treasure and giving her unmatched vengeance and protection. When a ruined, pathetic Louis crawls back, begging on his knees in the pouring rain, Catherine only walks past him hand-in-hand with her new King. "Some people, Louis, once missed, are gone for good."
