She was once the most elite battlefield commander of her kind, but she willingly laid down her medals for love, becoming nothing more than a nameless wife beside her Alpha husband. Until the day she witnessed with her own eyes—her husband placing her mother's only heirloom, a ruby necklace that should have been hers, around another she-wolf's throat. In that moment, Kira needed no one's approval. She cut down their mate bond in front of the entire Wolf Council, recovered her true identity, and then—before everyone's stunned eyes—turned and walked toward the most dangerous, most powerful Alpha in the land. The Top Alpha who was her ex-husband's superior. His most untouchable rival. By the time her former mate finally realized what he had lost, it was already far too late to turn back.

I clutched my belly—fresh from the surgery that took my baby—and wailed. Beside me, my mate held his pregnant lover and said, "Get down. Claudia needs the bed. You don't deserve to be here." So I severed the mate bond and walked away. Later, he searched the whole world for me. He never found me.
