Goodbye Alpha, You Can Never Win Me Back

I was Alpha Asher Voss's invisible wife. He made me his Luna, and I shielded him from the Council's scrutiny, managed his alliances, and ran his pack so smoothly he never had to wonder who was holding it all together. We were bound by a contract with one simple rule: on the third year of our marriage, we end everything and go our separate ways. No mark. No bond. No questions. And I thought I could handle it. I played my role flawlessly. Buried my foolish, growing affection beneath duty and discipline. Stayed within every line he drew. Never asked for more or reached for what wasn't offered. Until she returned. Vivienne, his childhood sweetheart. The woman he once swore to marry. The woman he never stopped searching for, the favourite candidate for his pack; loved and cherished by all. When she came back, I went from invisible to nonexistent. He announced wedding plans with her before our contract was even over, reminded me I had been a placeholder and asked me to prepare her room on the Alpha floor — his floor. The one I was never welcome on. But here's the part no one saw coming. I was pregnant. With thirty days left before the contract ends, I walked out of the pack where I’d been trapped for three years. And now, I can truly live for myself.
