After years of loving a man who never truly chose her, Moe is discarded the moment her husband finds someone he considered better. Betrayed. Rejected. Replaced. Walking away should have been the end of her story. Instead, it places her in the path of the one man no one expected to claim her. The Lycan King. Her ex-husband's father. The king doesn't offer pity. He offers protection, power... and a dangerous kind of devotion that borders on obsession. The more he makes Moe his, the more the son who threw her away realizes the greatest mistake of his life. Now father and son stand on opposite sides of a battle neither can afford to lose. Because the woman one rejected has become the woman the other refuses to let go.

He was my best friend. My first love. The only boy I ever trusted with every soft piece of me. Then my parents died making him Alpha. They had no son. Only me—the Alpha’s daughter who was never going to lead. So they poured everything they had into Jax, the Beta’s son who grew up in our house, ate at our table, and swore he would protect me forever. They trusted him with the pack. They trusted him with me. They died believing we would rule side by side. They never saw the monster he was already becoming. The night I walked into our bedroom and found him buried inside two of my own maids, something inside me finally snapped. He didn’t even stop. He just looked at me over their bodies and smiled like I was the one who interrupted something sacred. When I said the word divorce he beat me until I tasted blood and the childhood photo of us shattered on the floor. I still loved him. That was the worst part. I loved the boy who used to carry me home on his back. I hated the Alpha who now used that same hand to choke the air out of my lungs. So I did the one thing he never thought I had the spine to do. I denounced the mate bond at the old stone circle before the sun even rose. And now I’m walking out of the pack that was supposed to be my birthright… knowing the man who once promised to die for me will hunt me instead. Especially not with the one man that Jax reckons— the Lycan King himself, his brother and his very own Nightmare.
