Six years. That’s how long I gave to Gavin, helping him train, secure his spot in the minor leagues, and build his status. I thought we were destined.

He wants me there to watch him flaunt his new life. He thinks he left me a broken, packless nobody.
He thought wrong.

We strike a mutually beneficial, completely forbidden deal. We fake a fated-mate bond. I get to completely shatter my ex’s fragile ego on that cruise, and Kaelen gets the Council off his back. It was supposed to be a strict, business-only arrangement. But the second Kaelen’s dark, smoky Alpha scent wraps around me, my inner wolf wakes up with a roar.
