LOGINAmara Cross sacrificed everything for her Alpha husband—taking a silver bullet that permanently weakened her wolf, enduring a pregnancy that nearly killed her, and shrinking herself for five years hoping to earn his love. Instead, she found him with his mistress and watched her five-year-old son call another woman "mommy." Broken and discarded, she walked away from the pack that never valued her. Three years later, Amara returns as a powerful tech mogul worth millions—stunning, confident, and untouchable. Everything her ex-husband said she'd never be. But her carefully constructed walls face two threats: Damien, who suddenly wants her back now that she's successful, and Lucian Volkov—a ruthless Lycan mafia king who's also her second-chance mate. Lucian is possessive, dominant, and refuses to accept her rejection. He sees through her armor to the terrified woman beneath who's scared of being destroyed again. Caught between a past that broke her and a future she's afraid to want, Amara must decide: will she let fear keep her alone forever, or will she risk everything to reclaim not just her power, but her heart? Sometimes the greatest strength is choosing to trust again.

I moved to my chair. Sat. Fingers steepled. "Every word. Every detail. Leave nothing out."He told me.The mating ceremony requirement. The two-month deadline for a legitimate heir. The vampire child being denied all claims. The fresh blood supply. The five-month timeline.All of it.Every manipulation.

Floor stained with the blood of those who'd challenged me.Everything I'd built. Everything I'd protected. Everything I'd—Lost.My fist went through the obsidian table. Ancient. Irreplaceable. Shattered like glass.No heir. No legacy. No future.Because of love. Because of weakness. Because my grandson chose a corrupted mate over—Over everything.The door opened. I didn't turn.
