I showed up at my mate’s private villa to tell him I was pregnant…only to catch him shirtless, holding a woman wrapped in his blanket–calling her “my Luna.” And when she turned around, I froze. It was Leah. The woman the entire pack thinks I pushed off a cliff. The woman my mate mourned for six months. The woman he now swears he “always loved.” Elijah didn’t deny it. Didn’t explain. Didn’t even look surprised. He just tightened his arm around her and said the words that shattered “Let’s divorce. Leah is the one I should’ve chosen.” Fine. If the Alpha wants freedom so badly, I’ll give it to him. I walked away with nothing…Except the secret he’ll never forgive me for; I’m carrying the future Alpha–the miracle heir a Lycan bloodline can produce only once in a generation. I swore I’d disappear forever. I swore he’d never touch my child. But when Leah’s “return from the dead” triggers a new wave of hunter attacks…and Elijah discovers the real traitor has been beside him all along–he comes searching for me. This time not as my mate…but as the Alpha whose entire pack will die unless he gets back the woman he threw away.

Lady Lilian Cavendish has spent years learning how to survive inside the life chosen for her. Be beautiful. Be obedient. Marry well. Never question the future arranged by her father. She has done all of it. Until Gabriel Sinclair returns. When he was fourteen, Gabriel was torn from everything he knew and sent away without explanation, leaving behind only silence, grief, and a promise he was too young to keep. Years later, he comes back to England no longer as the boy Lilian remembers, but as a man forged by violence, secrecy, and the sea. Harder. Colder. Dangerous in ways she can feel before she understands them. He should have remained a memory. Instead, his return drags the past back to life. The moment Gabriel steps into Lilian’s world again, nothing feels safe. Not her future. Not her heart. Not even the walls around her. Because someone is watching. Someone is moving in the shadows. And before long, Gabriel receives a warning that changes everything: Lilian is in danger. The closer he gets to the truth, the more ruthless he becomes. He did not come back to beg for a place in her life. He came back as a man who knows how quickly everything can be taken away—and this time, he has no intention of losing her without a fight. But Lilian is no longer a girl chasing after a departing carriage. She is a woman trapped between duty and desire, bound to a future she does not want, and drawn to the one man who could destroy everything she has been taught to protect. Wanting Gabriel is reckless. Trusting him may be worse. Because the boy she loved is gone, and the man who returned is far more dangerous than her memories ever were. In a world ruled by power, reputation, and betrayal, their reunion was never meant to happen. But some promises do not die. Some bonds do not break. And some loves return dark enough to ruin everything.
