Alice Watson knew the rules of her marriage the day she walked into it: don't expect love, don't ask for respect, and never, ever remind the Alpha that the child he refuses to acknowledge exists. She obeyed those rules for four years — invisible, silent, slowly disappearing inside a pack that treated her like furniture. Then her son Lucian was given one month to live. "I agree to divorce you.

As he's forced to spend time with Lucian and really see him — the ice around his contempt begins to crack. And the woman he dismissed as scheming and dull turns out to be someone he's been deliberately refusing to see: powerful, fierce, and carrying a secret identity that could bring his world to its knees. But the thirty days shatter before they end. On a dark road, with Lucian dying in her arms, Benjamin abandons them both — driving away to save another woman's child while his own son slips away.

And Benjamin Kane, still clutching the unsigned divorce papers he could never bring himself to file, realizes he's been staring at the wrong woman for his entire life.
