MasukAt 25 weeks pregnant, Luna Loretta went to the hospital for a checkup. She caught her mate cheating with another woman. She was overweight and not pretty. She could barely hold her big belly. Her Alpha’s young, beautiful lover called her an “old woman.” But back when she first met Zane, Loretta was popular and admired by everyone. Zane thought she got pregnant on purpose to trap him. He was the one who asked to reject her. Right then, she gave up completely. 8 years of loving him in secret—from school to work—all meant nothing. She had the baby, signed the papers to end the mate bond, and walked away. Five years later. She became a stunning, smart CEO worth billions. She had plenty of men chasing after her. But the Alpha who asked for a divorce never fully broke their mate bond. Loretta went to the Elders’ Council and asked them to end it for good. The Alpha who once hated her now kept showing up around her. Every man who tried to date her, he got back at. Until Loretta walked in with another man and announced they were engaged. Zane pushed her against the wall and lost control. “Loretta, don’t even think about marrying anyone else.”
