For three years, I waited. I waited to become the perfect Luna for my pack, to give the Alpha an heir, to finally belong. But the truth was far crueler than I ever imagined. For three years, I lived a lie. I was nothing more than an outsider in a love story that didn’t belong to me. Three years of mourning the loss of my child, of grieving a future ripped away. And in those dark years, I made one promise: I would make the man who destroyed me pay. My choices were simple: die at the hands of my pack or escape and survive.

And when the truth comes to light, I face an impossible choice: run from Fenrir and the life I’ve built-or trust in him to protect me and our future. “I’m sorry, Fenrir,” I whisper, my heart torn
