When Wren Ashwood overhears her mate laughing about their future, her world shatters. Soren Thorne—the man she loved for ten years—isn’t delaying their bonding because of trauma. He has been lying, cheating with another woman, and waiting to claim Wren’s Alpha bloodline as his own. But Wren is done being the quiet, devoted Luna-in-waiting. Armed with proof of his betrayal, she turns their sacred mate-bonding ceremony into his public downfall. Then, before Soren can cage her with apologies or power, Wren vanishes into the sea and lets the world believe she is dead. Reborn as Valerie Wilder in neutral territory, she builds a life beyond packs, titles, and broken bonds. Yet Soren’s obsession refuses to die—and Alpha Killian Valmont, the one man who saw her pain before anyone else, is determined to find her for reasons of his own. Betrayal made her disappear. Revenge set her free. But love may give her a second chance.
