Mag-log inSkye Winters never wanted to be Luna. But when the mate bond snapped into place at her eighteenth birthday, binding her to Alpha Jaxon Vale, it should have been a dream come true. She'd loved him from afar for years. But Jaxon didn't want her—he accused her of trapping him, forcing the bond, married her only because the pack demanded it, and has spent three years making her feel like an obligation he can't escape. Skye tried to be the perfect Luna, the perfect wife, the woman he might one day choose to love. But when her sister Cassandra returns with a son she claims is Jaxon's, everything shatters. Jaxon moves them into the Alpha house. He names the boy his heir. And chooses her sister first at every opportunity. When Skye nearly dies because of Jaxon's choices, something inside her dies first—the desperate hope that kept her chained to a man who will never see her as more than a burden. Now Skye is done begging. Done compromising. Done watching her husband build a family with her sister while she stands in the shadows. She wants a divorce. But breaking a fated mate bond isn't simple—especially when she's carrying a secret that could trap her forever. As pack politics, family pressure, and her own broken heart collide, Skye must find the strength to walk away from everything she thought she wanted. The only question is: will Jaxon let her go? Or will he finally realize what he's losing when it's already too late?
view moreJaxon The day of my first monthly in-person visit with Skye to bond with my unborn baby has finally arrived. The days since she left Ironwood have dragged on so slowly, I thought this day might never come. I drive through Greenwood River Pack territory, and the jealousy hits me before I even see her. This should be my pack. My mate. My life.Instead, I'm a visitor in another Alpha's territory, here on sufferance to see my own mate. Ex-mate, I correct myself. The word still feels wrong. Like a wound that hasn't healed.The Greenwood River Pack lands are beautiful—rolling hills, dense forests, the river cutting through everything like a silver ribbon. It's peaceful. Prosperous. Well-managed. Everything Skye deserves. Everything I should have given her.I pull up to the Alpha house, and Marco is waiting on the front steps. He greets me with cool politeness. We're not exactly enemies, but we're sure as hell not friends. Not that we ever were. "Alpha Vale." His tone is barely tolerant bu
Skye "You knew," I murmur to Diana. "You knew what it was like to love someone you couldn't have while trapped with someone who didn't truly love you back."Diana nods, her eyes bright with unshed tears."I knew. I lived it for years. Thomas was never cold the way Jaxon was to you but a part of him always resented me for not being his fated mate. And I couldn't bear watching you do the same when you didn't have to. You're young, Skye. You have time to find real love. Don't waste it on someone who doesn't see your worth, fated mate or not."She reaches across the table, takes my hand."I wanted you to be sure this is what you wanted. But when you assured me it was, I supported your divorce because I knew what you were going through. The loneliness. The constant trying and failing. The slow death of hope." Her voice breaks slightly. "And I knew that unlike me, you didn't have to wait. You could choose freedom now. Choose yourself. Choose the possibility of real love with someone who des
SkyeDiana and I are sitting at the kitchen table, sorting through some pack supply requests, when I notice some things I've missed before. Probably because I didn’t want to notice, if I'm being honest. But now that we’re sharing space, there is no avoiding the intimacy that exists between my aunt and my father. I can’t help but notice small things like the way Diana's hand automatically finds my father's when he passes by the table. How natural it is, like it’s completely unconscious. Her hand just... reaches for his, and his is already there waiting. They don't even look at each other. Just this brief touch as he moves past, his fingers squeezing hers gently before he continues to his office. But the smile Diana gets—soft and private—tells me everything about what that touch means.I watch them more closely over the next few days. They share small touches everywhere. His hand on her lower back when they walk together. Her fingers straightening his collar before pack meetings. The w
NicolaiOne of my informants—a wolf who works in the Greenwood River Pack's administrative office—calls with an update I didn't ask for but apparently thought I needed."The Alpha’s daughter, the woman you’re having us watch, you know she’s pregnant, right?" he says. "Like visibly pregnant. Maybe four, five months along?"The description hits me harder than it should. I've known she was pregnant since before she left Ironwood. Known the baby was Vale's. Known this child would be a permanent tie to the man who hurt her. But hearing it described—visibly pregnant—makes it real in a way it wasn't before.Skye is carrying Vale's child. In a few months, she'll give birth to Vale's heir. And Vale will be in her life forever because of it.Part of me wants to be angry about that. Jealous, even. But mostly I just feel protective. That baby is part of Skye. Which means I'd protect it with my life if given the chance.The thought should terrify me. Instead, it feels... right.I’m still stewing ov
