For seven years, I endured life as Lucien Wolfgang's marked Luna, believing the Alpha I loved would one day protect me.
Instead, he gave all three of our pups to High Priestess Serena, let my own son call her mother, and locked me in the Silver Room whenever I resisted.
Then I learned the cruelest truth: Lucien had drugged me into the mate bond, and his scheme had led to my parents' deaths. After one hundred silver-laced lashes, I let the pack believe I was dead and escaped.
In the human world, I rebuilt my life beside Matthew. But Lucien found me, dragged me back, and tried to bind me again with regret, our children, and the love he recognized too late.
He thought saving me from Serena's poisoned blade could erase seven years of pain. It could not. I left Wolfgang for good—choosing freedom, dignity, and a future where love would never demand my surrender.
