I bled for his throne. I gave him my kidney, my devotion, and my silent submission in a cold, loveless bed. All he gave me in return was a monthly summons to his sheets—and a warning never to cry out his name. For five years, I was the hidden, discarded wife of Alpha Diego—the most powerful, ruthless shifter in the continent. Handsome as a sin and intoxicating in bed, he took my body with brutal, breathtaking skill, yet denied me his heart. When I walked away on bare feet, broken and forgotten, I swore I was done begging for a touch that came with ice. Ten years later, I am no longer his quiet Luna. I am Chief Doctor Courtney—a woman of wealth, power, and untouchable authority, running the largest medical empire in the realm. Until the day Diego struts into my hospital lobby, looking every bit the devastating, magnetic god who ruined my youth. He doesn't recognize the radiant queen standing before him—until my eyes lock onto his, and the truth shatters his cold arrogance. Now, the Alpha who discarded me has turned predator. Ignited by a dark, dangerous obsession, Diego declares war on the world just to drag me back to his side. He wants my heart, my surrender, and every helpless, breathless moan he once forbade. He thinks he can force me back into his bed. But this time, the heat between us isn't just passion—it’s a battlefield.
