Rejected Me Once, Never Fool Me Twice
I was never meant to love him.
Zander was my mate, my husband, my Alphaābut not my choice. My heart had always belonged to my childhood best friend, Laurent. We dreamed of a future together, but fate was cruel, binding us to different mates. Still, I couldnāt let go. Even after marrying Zander, I betrayed him, seeking solace in Laurentās arms. Then, everything fell apart.
I fell pregnant⦠with Laurentās child.
Zander found out about my betrayal, and in his rage, he marked meānot out of love, but out of vengeance. Then he shattered me further, finding comfort in another womanās arms. Selina. He loved her the way I once wished heād love me. It should have been enough for me to leave. But the Moon Goddess had other plans. Tragedy struck, and I was forced to make an impossible choice. I ran.
For seven years, I stayed away.
For seven years, I tried to forget.
But now, the pack needs me. A war is coming, and I am the only one who can save them. Returning means facing my past, the mate I once scorned, and the love I thought I lost. Zander is different nowāstronger, colder. He doesnāt want me back. I donāt blame him.
But the bond between us never truly broke.
And this time⦠neither of us can run from it.
Will love be enough to mend what was shattered, or are we doomed to be each otherās greatest regret?
