The Mate He Left Behind

For ten years, she stayed in a remote countryside pack, caring for her mate's sick mother while Damon built his future in the Royal Pack. She told herself it was fine—a good wife should wait. Until one stormy night, she learned the truth: his mother was never ill, and Damon had already bonded with another woman, with children of their own. That night, she found Ryder, who'd loved her quietly for years. "Do you still want me?" "Yes." She went home and burned the last bond between them.
