Aria thought the most painful moment of her life would be being rejected by the Alpha she loved. She was wrong. Humiliated before the entire pack and carrying a secret that could destroy them both, she disappears without looking back. Three years later, Aria returns—but she is no longer the broken girl they remember. Beside her stands Kael, the ruthless Alpha of their enemy pack, a man feared by everyone... and the one man her former mate cannot defeat. When old bonds awaken, buried secrets surface, and Kael reveals that their marriage was never as simple as it seemed, Aria must decide who truly owns her heart. Her former mate rejected her once. He won't survive losing her twice.
