Every man in that ballroom watched her mate choose someone else. Only Lyra knew she'd die for saving them anyway, and that they'd let her. She spent three years as a wife who only stayed because of duty, feeling invisible in her own marriage. Then, as she was dying, the goddess her family believed had rejected her answered the one wish no one expected her to make: “Let me be seen.” Lyra wakes three years too early, same bed, same wedding week, every betrayal still ahead of her instead of behind. The rigged bond. The frame-up. The Alpha who chose the easy lie over her. This time, she remembers all of it. And this time, the power her family buried her whole life to hide isn't dormant anymore. Alpha Kade Ashborn doesn't know why he's already dreaming about a woman who hasn't wronged him yet. He doesn't know his real fated mate is a lie built to control him. All he knows is that every time he looks at his overlooked, unremarkable bride, something in him whispers he's already lost her once, and he's about to lose her again if he doesn't fight for the first time in his life. She isn't here to be chosen. She's here to make them watch her choose herself. Some brides beg to be kept. This one came back to be reckoned with.
