Hadley has spent most of her life being loved by the Royal Pack.
Orphaned young and raised beneath the protection of the Alpha King and Luna Queen, she grew up inside the palace alongside their son, Killian. She may be wolfless, and she may not have royal blood, but to the people who matter, she has always been family.
Until Killian comes home.
One night Hadley can’t remember leaves her waking in his bed at three-thirty in the morning.
By breakfast, Killian has found his mate.
Her best friend, Avery.
And then Hadley’s world begins to change.
Memories no longer fit. Friends turn cold. Accidents become accusations. Evidence appears where it shouldn’t, and the boy who once protected her begins looking at her like she’s something he needs to protect everyone else from.
Then Avery’s wolf begins to die.
When every piece of evidence points to Hadley, suspicion becomes certainty—and the only family she has ever known becomes the one thing she may not survive.
But Hadley does survive.
Six years later, she has a new life, a new name, and two children the Royal Pack knows nothing about.
She has no intention of ever going home.
Until she no longer has a choice.
The palace hasn’t forgotten her.
Neither has Killian.
And his wolf recognizes something in Hadley’s children that Killian can’t explain.
Six years ago, someone poisoned a wolf.
But the real target was always the truth.
