A woman subdued is a woman controlled. “Reverie won’t cause trouble anyway.” Seven Years. That’s all it took for me to be reduced to less than nothing and quietly replaced. All the while I played the fool and let them take everything from me. Seven years of loyalty, sacrifice, and patience. They mistook my kindness for weakness—my silence for obedience. No one will ever make that mistake again. I thought I’d carved a home into the diamond-crusted ice of the Solvane Frost pack. All I did was sculpt a throne for Alpha Kieran’s true love to return to instead. Ninety days left until the Bond naturally disintegrates and I can flee with the one secret that could topple the entire Shifter world. Yet, with limited resources, my only option is to return home. But returning home means awakening the Royal Bloodline I locked away. It means facing the enemies who seek the Lost Heiress. The arranged marriage I should’ve accepted. It means facing him The man I never truly left behind, but abandoned, nonetheless. Alpha Leoric Vaelthorne It’s time to make the choice. The past I ran from, the future that threatens everything I hold dear. Or the present that twists around my throat like a noose. Fate is ready to lay all my secrets bare. Pray the Moon Goddess guides me to the right one this time—and I am finally brave enough to make it. It’s time to reclaim what’s mine. “Your room is always ready. The only thing missing…is you.”
