Ella married Nick out of gratitude after he saved her life — and spent three loveless years paying for it. The night she catches him with his ex-girlfriend's video, she tears up their contract and walks straight into the arms of Kane, her fated mate. For the first time, Ella tastes real happiness. When Nick finally sees his ex was only after his money, he begs Ella to come back — and gets nothing but rejection, Alpha title and all.
