Alpha King Kane Ashwood let his pack believe his mate betrayed him — the truth was worse. A curse was killing him from the inside, and the only way to save her was to let her go in disgrace.
Ten years later, Elena Voss walks back through his gates. Not for him. Not for forgiveness. She wants her name back, spoken clean in front of every wolf who turned on her.
The moment their eyes meet, the bond he buried roars back to life. But telling the truth means exposing the curse he's hidden from allies and enemies alike — and the moment it's out, everyone who wants him dead will know exactly where to strike.
Kane has one chance to prove his silence wasn't betrayal. It was mercy.
But some secrets don't wait to be spoken. They come for blood.
