When wolfsbane pierced my abdomen, my Alpha mate, Jason Cole, was rushing back to camp with Emily Vale in his arms, her body trembling with fear. Ten minutes earlier, a group of Rogues had broken into our territory, and Jason'd left me to hold the most dangerous part of the front line without hesitation. "You're the Lead Warrior. A wound like this won't kill you, but Emily's just an Omega," he snapped. I could hear him through the faint mind-link, blowing up in the infirmary over a tiny scratch on Emily's arm. Meanwhile, I lay in a pool of blood, my wolf growing weaker as our mate bond turned cold and empty. I used every last bit of strength I had left to sever the bond. Three years later, he held a huge Luna Ascension Ceremony to secure his power, and Emily was meant to be his Luna. When he reached out with a smile on his face to set the crown on her head, the hall doors slammed open, and fully armed royal guards marched in. "By order of the Lycan Queen, we are here to settle accounts for Redwind Pack's betrayal," one guard shouted. Jason's face went pale the second he recognized me, the woman sitting on the throne. He was so shocked that he couldn't even keep his wolf form stable. He believed I'd died in that rogue attack three years ago, but he had no idea I'd survived and come back stronger.
