She was his convenient vessel. Until she wasn't.
Isla Thorne spent four years as Luna of Blackwater Pack, enduring a loveless marriage while her Alpha husband openly kept a mistress. She nearly died giving him a daughter—but that wasn't enough. He only came home on her fertile nights, treating her like a scheduled appointment, while building a real family with another woman.
The night Isla overheard Caden tell his mother he wouldn't risk his mistress's life with pregnancy because Isla "can handle that risk again," something inside her shattered.
She terminated the pregnancy he didn't know about. Filed for divorce. And vanished.
Six months later, when Isla returns transformed and thriving, Caden finally realizes what he's lost—a devoted mate, a brilliant healer, the backbone of his pack. But Isla has learned the hardest lesson of all: some bonds aren't worth keeping, and some men don't deserve second chances.
He wanted an heir. She gave him consequences.
A werewolf romance about a woman who chose herself, and the Alpha who learned that some lessons can only be taught through permanent loss.
