Why Has Hale Come Back To Salem?

For seven years, Evelyn Reed hid her true identity as Princess Evelyn Voss of the Lycan Kingdom, suppressing her royal blood and her powerful wolf to live as an ordinary omega at the side of the man she loved—Alpha Alexander Thorne of Shadowfang Pack. She endured his mother’s disdain, the pack’s whispers, and Alexander’s growing distance, believing love would be enough. Until the day he brought his fated mate into their home. Scarlett Hale—beautiful, ambitious, and everything Evelyn was never allowed to be—became the center of Alexander’s world. When he revealed that Scarlett was his mate, when he threatened to drag Evelyn to apologize for something she didn’t do, when he locked her in a cell like a criminal… Evelyn finally shattered. Betrayed, humiliated, and caged by the man who once swore to choose her above all others, she receives the one thing she never expected: freedom. Her marriage is annulled. Her chains are broken. Her father, the Lycan King, and her brothers are coming for her. Now the princess who once ran from her crown is returning to claim it. Welcome home, Princess.

Marry me and give me an heir. Soren Lancaster said in a cold raspy voice. That's all he wants. A womb to bear his child — the only way he could keep his crown and remain the rightful head of the Lancaster empire. A deal sealed in misery. A marriage of convenience, stripped of love, a secret to the outside world, to Soren. Delilah Harper sold her body and soul in exchange for her mother's debt. A fatal mistake. One unforgettable night, a near death encounter and Soren left, leaving Delilah lovestruck. Delilah loved him quietly, believing she could earn his heart, make him see her the way she has always seen him. But to Soren, rules were sacred. Unbreakable. Only cold silence and a space Delilah mistook as a home. She was nothing but a rebound. A woman who couldn't give him the one thing he wanted the most. A baby. And still, he did not cast her aside. He kept her. Delilah held on to that tiny hope. But that hope dies off clean when Soren brings another woman home— pregnant. Not just any woman. Ashley Garcia. Her highschool bully, and the woman who left Soren at the alter. His first love.
