Because my stepsister ran away from the wedding, I was tied to the altar to take her place and complete the mate bond with Kael Vorn, the strongest Alpha in the North Realm—the Frostfang Wolf King.For a year, I devoted myself entirely to being his mate… until Seraphine returned from abroad.On the cliff, the kidnappers forced Kael to choose between us. He chose Seraphine without hesitation.I fell into the Black Sea, and the two‑month‑old wolf cub in my womb died with me.In that moment, I finally understood: no one had ever truly chosen me.Later, he uncovered the truth—the girl who saved his life that year had never been Seraphine. It had been me all along.But he had already destroyed everything I had, with his own two hands.
