For twelve years, my wolf spirit has been fading. The healers called it a curse. My Alpha husband Gideon called it an excuse. But the truth was worse: my sister Cassie had been siphoning my wolf spirit since childhood, stealing my strength for every medal, promotion, and proud look she received. When my wolf finally dies, Gideon is still choosing her. So I hide the last pieces of my soul in seven places he visits every day—his coffee cup, training ground, and bed. If he wants the truth, he’ll have to find me piece by piece.

For ten years, Clara Vance ghost-created every blockbuster fragrance for Thorne Empire while raising her orphaned sister, Mia. She hid her burn scars and let her fiancé, Julian, take the spotlight.

On our marking night, Rohan brought home a little girl and another woman. "This is my first love, and we have a daughter together. From now on, we’ll all live together peacefully," he declared, his alpha tone leaving no room for argument. The air around him seemed to thicken with his authority, his commanding presence filling the room. "And isn’t it convenient? Someone can take care of you, considering you can’t shift anymore." I looked down at my legs, the ones that had been rendered useless after the rogue attack where I’d saved his life. I couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. He seemed to have forgotten that it was because of him I’d lost my wolf form entirely. Later, I left without saying a word, and he apologized, begging me to come back. "Alpha Rohan, do you even realize what you're saying?" I stared at him in disbelief, the man I had loved for five years and marked as my mate just today.

When my billionaire husband abandoned me in the high-risk maternity ward to comfort his 'fragile' childhood friend, I finally stopped crying and started planning my exit.

Instead, he's coming back to signed divorce papers and an empty house.
