She was chosen by the Moon—then rejected by her mate. Publicly cast aside by the future Alpha, Elaine is forced to survive a bond that refuses to break. But when fate drags her back into his world, the Alpha realizes too late—rejecting her didn’t free him. It bound him forever.

He signed the divorce papers without hesitation. No anger. No regret. No fight. For ten years, Luna loved Alpha Kael Nightfang. For three years, she was his wife. Unmarked. Unclaimed. Unchosen. The day she walked away, she was carrying his child. He never knew. Four years later, she returns to the Northern Territory with a little boy who has silver-grey eyes and the scent of an Alpha. Kael doesn’t believe in coincidence. When the child bleeds—and the air fills with the unmistakable scent of his own blood—something dark and ancient awakens inside him. He doesn’t shout. He doesn’t ask. He declares. “He is mine.” Now the cold Alpha who never begged must confront the truth: The Luna he let go gave him an heir. And she did it without him. But Luna is no longer the quiet woman who waited to be loved. She will not return as his shadow. She will not be claimed out of duty. If he wants her back—he will have to choose her. Publicly. Completely. Irrevocably. Because this time, it isn’t just about pride. It’s about a son who carries his blood… and a woman who refuses to be unloved twice. And when an Alpha finally decides to fight—He doesn’t ask permission. He claims what is his.
