Ema sacrificed her true identity and secret power to help Alpha Max rise and become Alpha of Silverfang Pack. For years she loved him in silence, believing he would choose her once she revealed she was the lost heir of the powerful Shadow Pack.  On the night of Max’s birthday, Ema planned to confess everything — only to receive proof that he had been secretly sleeping with her own sister and had already fathered a child with her. Devastated, she discovered Max had never wanted her to bear his children; he only wanted her as his obedient slave.  Heartbroken, Ema shattered their mate bond under the full moon and vanished.  Years later, as Silverfang Pack crumbles without the mysterious support it once had, Max attends the birthday celebration of Shadow Pack’s new Luna — only to realize the woman on the throne is Ema, now powerful, married to another Alpha, and mother to his rival’s son.  When Max falls to his knees begging for forgiveness, Ema looks down at him and delivers her final words:  “You never wanted me to carry your child. Now I’ve given a real Alpha a son — and you will never have me again.”
