로그인They tried to break her with their lies, so instead, she used the pieces of her shattered life to make herself strong.

After rejecting her mate, Grace leaves her pack and everything that she ever knew.

But when her father dies years later, Grace is forced to return and to face the rejected mate who broke her heart.

더 보기Grace's POV.A few months later:"She's absolutely perfect, Grace."Rhyder's eyes brimmed with tears as he held our daughter in his arms.She in turn, stared up at him with big, round eyes.My heart grew so much that it felt like my chest would rip open and it would burst out."She is..."I smiled at them as he held her tiny little hand between his fingers.He was completely in love with her already."What are we going to name her?"He spoke to me without taking his eyes off of her."I was thinking that we could call her... Hope."He finally looked at me. He had a gentle softness in his eyes and the curves of his face."Hope..."He tested the sound of it on his lips. The corners of his mouth twisted up."I love it... it suits her perfectly.""Is it my turn to hold her now, daddy?"Tate looked up at Rhyder with hopeful eyes. Rhyder looked over at me, waiting for my consent.I nodded my head with a happy, but tired smile."Sure it is, Tate. I think Hope will be very happy to finally mee
Rhyder's POV.The three heartbeats were very different from each other.One was fast, eratic, and shallow - Alexis.The second sounded like I was listening to it under water - my pup.And the third worried me the most: it was faint and fading - Grace.She was hurt - badly. And she was barely hanging on.I had to get to her before it was too late. I had to get her out of there and away from Alexis.I strained my ears, trying to listen for any sign of movement from inside the shed. I was trying to figure out where exactly Alexis was and what she was doing.The shed was quiet, but I could hear them breathing.By the sound of Grace's breathing I could only assume that she was unconscience.Alexis sounded out of breath. Like she had exerted herself physically.A thousand horrible possibilities flashed across my mind as I tried not to come up with all the ways that Alexis could have exerted herself to leave my mate, my wife - the mother of my children in such a state.My wolf clawed at my i
Rhyder's POV. I leaned down to pick up the bouquette of flowers that Grace and Tate had been making for her mother's birthday. It was ruined: the flowers were all trampled, the delicate petals crushed and soiled. Some of the leaves still clung to the broken stems. "She has to be around here somewhere, Alpha..." Jackson's anxious voice pulled me back to reality. I blinked a few times and let the ruined bouquette slip from my hand and fall to the ground. "It's not possible for her to have just disappeared without a trace." I turned to look at him. His expression was strained, his shoulders and back rigid, and a dark shadow hung across his face. He had his hands balled into fists by his sides - his knuckles had turned white. "She hasn't..." Even to my ears my voice sounded strangely calm. It didn't reflect what I was feeling on the inside. The truth was that I was losing my mind: my chest felt painfully constricted, it felt like I could hear my own blood coarsing through my vein
Grace's POV."No! I won't let you! You can't have my baby!"I strained against my chains, forcing my body forward, fighting against whatever it was that made me feel so weak."Let me go, Alexis! Or so help me God..."I pulled my hands forward over and over again. The rusted metal dug into my skin, burning my raw and exposed flesh.I didn't mind the pain. It made my adrenaline pump. My heart pounded in my chest. My breaths came in quick shallow bursts. My mind struggled between thoughts of what Alexis was planning, ways for me to get away from her - back to Rhyder and Tate, and all the possible ways that I could end her miserable life once and for all."Untie me, Alexis! Right now! You know that Rhyder is already on his way here! Let me go!"I was feeling desperate, scared, and frustrated. My chains wouldn't give no matter how much I struggled.My wolf was unresponsive.Rhyder would never find me in time without my scent to track.There was nothing I could as long as I was tied up.An
Grace's POV.A cloud of hot steam puffed out behind Alexis when she finally opened the bedroom door.She must have been in there for about an hour and it showed.Her hair was clean and straight again, and cascaded down the length of her back like a silk waterfall. Her skin had a certain kind of fre
Grace's POV."Because I love him, Grace. I've loved Rhyder for as I long as I can remember. But I saw the way you guys were with each other... the whole damn pack saw it!"Alexis wiped at her cheeks, sniffling. My eyes bounced between her and Rhyder. I was gauging his reaction to Alexis's truth.He
Rhyder's POV."Heeey... you're back... finally... I was beginning to think that... I was going... to be... alone aaall... night."I found Alexis sprawled out on my bed. She was only just supporting her weight on her elbows. Her words were slurred and her head lulled lazily on top of her shoulders.
Rhyder's POV."Who's there?"I hesitated for a split-second. I could see my father's silhouette through the dense coverage of the brush and trees.Even then, he looked smaller than I remembered, frail almost.I wasn't sure if I was ready to see him again after all these years - wasn't sure if I wa
