My Mate Hunted Me for Five Years. But I Was Already Dead.
Five years after my death, my ex-husband, Adrian Shaw, came home with his childhood sweetheart, Hannah Reed, on his arm. They were preparing for a new mating ceremony.
His only wish before the ceremony was to find me and make me pay for severing our mate bond and betraying him all those years ago.
To force me to show myself, he destroyed my family's company, drove my father out of his mind, and burned down the home we had once shared.
What he did not know was that I was already dead.
Five years earlier, desperate to pay for the treatment he needed after a car accident badly injured his inner wolf, I signed up as a test subject at an underground clinic.
It was an illegal clinic that used live subjects to test experimental silver-derived compounds and wolfsbane antidotes.
I died in its basement.
Later, my grandmother, who had dementia, ran into Adrian in the neighborhood. My grandmother's face lit up with joy.
"Adrian, you're back? Grace has missed you so much. Come with me. I'll take you to see Grace."
