I used to believe love was enough. That being the perfect Luna, the perfect wife, would make my mate love me back.
I was wrong.
My name is Kara Henderson, once the cherished daughter of a proud Alpha, now the Luna everyone pities.
My husband, Alpha Ryder, broke every vow he made. He humiliated me, cheated on me, and crushed every piece of dignity I had left.
The night he brought another woman into our bed was the night I finally snapped.
I ran.
I left behind the pack, the lies, the pain…. everything. I built a new life in the human world, hiding under a new name. I thought I could forget. But fate… she’s cruel.
Because the stranger I spent one night with, the man who made me feel alive again, turns out to be Lucien, Ryder’s estranged half brother.
He’s gentle where Ryder was cruel, protective where Ryder was arrogant. He says we’re fated… and the bond between us only grows stronger every day.
But how can I love the brother of the man who destroyed me?

“Do you know how many nights I’ve thought about those? How I imagined sliding your dress up and seeing you in them… in my room, or my office… gagged so you wouldn’t scream my name?”
“Say the word, Renata,” he whispered, voice rough. “And I’ll have you right here… where anyone could knock. Where you could get caught with your husband’s father’s cock inside you.”
She gasped.

I stuck by Wesley Grant for five years.
I jumped into the sea, underwent an abortion, and even took a bullet—all for his sake.
I was called his lapdog. Yet, they were unaware that he had saved my life from the brink of death five years ago. From that moment on, I swore I would only remain loyal to him.
At the dinner hosted by the Grant family, he had me lower myself to his childhood sweetheart. It was only when his uncle, Joseph Grant, entered and stopped him that I realized the truth.
The man who saved me five years ago had never been Wesley.
It was Joseph all along.
Without any hesitation, I called the patriarch of the family, Albert Grant, saying, "I changed my mind. The heir of the Grant family should be Joseph. If not, I'll withdraw my investments at once."
