Elaine thought her life was finally falling into place when she discovered her mate—Michael, the future Alpha of their pack. He was her fated, her forever. But her joy shatters when she learns the truth: Michael already has a chosen mate, one carrying his child. And the betrayal cuts even deeper when Elaine realizes that chosen mate is her own sister, Kathy. Instead of supporting her, the Alpha, Luna, and even her parents side with Michael’s decision, leaving Elaine abandoned by the very people she trusted most. The pack turns against her, branding her as nothing more than the third party standing in the way of the “true couple.” Now, as she’s forced to endure the heartbreak of preparing for Michael and Kathy’s mating ceremony, Elaine is left questioning everything—her family, her pack, and even herself. With no one to turn to, how can she survive in a world where love, loyalty, and blood ties have all betrayed her?

The rain didn’t stop the night Marian’s world fell apart. What began as an ordinary birthday morning — quiet, tender, and filled with the promise of love — unraveled with a single confession that shattered everything she believed in. “I got someone pregnant.” Now, trapped between the echoes of what once was and the Daniel betrayal left behind, Marian must navigate the wreckage of a love she thought was unbreakable. The house still smells like him, the bed still holds his warmth, but nothing feels the same. As the storm outside rages, so does the one within her — grief, disbelief, anger, and the haunting question: How do you breathe when the person who was your air is gone? When the rain finally softens, Marian must decide whether to drown in the memories or learn to stand in the downpour — to find herself again beneath the ruins of love.
