Five years ago, under the bonfire lights of Shadowwood Plaza, my “future mate” ordered me to kneel in front of another she-wolf and apologize. I chose a different kind of obedience. I told him, “We’re done,” and boarded a plane to France. My Ex Wants a Bond, But I’ve Be… For five years, I fought on border battlefields and negotiated at the Alliance Council table. When I finally came home to inherit my parents’ pack, my phone rang the moment I stepped off the plane. “Trista. The mating ceremony is in five days, at Hill Manor. The one I promised you, all those years ago.” Cade still sounded so sure—like our bond had never been broken, like my life had been on pause, waiting for him. My Ex Wants a Bond, But I’ve Be… What he didn’t know was this: I already have a mate. A husband. A Lycan Alpha feared across the North—Alpha Zander—and two little wolf pups who call me “Mommy.” My Ex Wants a Bond, But I’ve Be… Cade thought I’d returned for the grand ceremony he owed me. Instead, at the end of that glittering aisle in Hill Manor, he watched me stand beside another Alpha, our twin sons clinging to his legs, the crowd bowing to “Alpha Zander and Luna Trista.” In that moment, the proud Moonriver Alpha finally realized… He was never the one I’d been waiting for.
