He Chose Her I Took His Heir

For six years, Blackwood Pack Alpha Damian has kept his bond with his personal assistant, Elara, a secret, despite having a six-year-old son, Leo. He refuses to let Leo call him “Dad,” introduces Elara as a distant relative, and keeps Chloe, a clingy, immature woman, constantly by his side. On Leo’s birthday, Damian promises to come home but is caught enjoying a candlelit dinner with Chloe. That night, drunk and distracted by Chloe’s desperate call, he signs the papers Elara gives him, unaware they are their bond termination agreement. The next day, he gives Leo a stuffed dog he fears, moves Chloe into their home, and banishes Elara and Leo to the guest room. When he publicly calls them distant relatives again, Leo tearfully starts calling him “Alpha.” Even the cake Damian brings is a mango cake meant for Chloe, despite Leo’s severe mango allergy. Heartbroken, Elara leaves the signed agreement on his desk, blocks every contact, and takes Leo to Seattle, where she had planned a new life months earlier. Without Elara, Damian’s world falls apart. Chloe’s reports are riddled with errors, she ruins an important negotiation, and other Alphas openly long for their “true Luna.” Finally realizing what he has lost, Damian flies to Seattle to find them. Elara wants only custody of Leo, but Damian refuses to end their bond, accusing her of being the one who bound him to her six years ago. Elara finally reveals the truth: that night, his bloodline power overwhelmed him, and he dragged her inside against her will. He lost his memory the next day, mistook her suffering for seduction, and turned his admiration into resentment. The truth shatters Damian, but Elara refuses to return. She rebuilds her life in Seattle, starts dating again, and has no intention of remarrying. Damian is left with occasional visits, child support, and the regret of watching her move on. “Even without the sun, the sky will still grow bright.”
