Serena Mitchell agreed to a loveless mating with Alpha Ethan—respect in public, mistresses in private. But on their mating night, he abandons her for his pregnant mistress. Humiliated before the pack and the Lycan King, Serena refuses to endure. She dissolves the bond, brings ruin upon Ethan's house, and captures the heart of Prince Ronan. As Ethan and his mistress destroy each other through greed and betrayal, Serena rises from the ashes—no longer a pawn in royal decrees, but a woman who commands her own fate. With Ronan by her side, she claims a love built on choice, not obligation.
