The night he rejected me in front of the entire pack, he became my greatest regret and my most dangerous secret.

I was on my knees when they came for me.

Not in prayer. In humiliation.

Standing before the Moonridge pack at the sacred Moon Ascension Festival, the one night the goddess was supposed to witness; Cael Whitmore, Alpha Heir and future of everything my world was built on, looked me in the eyes and said I was unwanted.

He chose another. In front of everyone. In front of the moon herself.

What he didn't know, what no one knew, was that he'd already left something behind.

A piece of him that I would carry alone into the dark. A daughter I would raise in hiding, in exile, in silence. A secret that four years of peace couldn't protect forever.

Now he's back. And so is everything I buried.

If you've ever loved someone who made you feel invisible, raged at a world that didn't see your worth, or held yourself together with nothing but sheer will, this story is yours.

This is a heart wrecking, soul mending rejected mate romance about a woman who was left behind, built herself anyway, and forced the man who walked away to face everything he threw aside.
