I've been married for eight years, but my husband won't let our daughter call him "Dad" because his childhood sweetheart's son struggles with severe depression. After he missed our daughter's parent-teacher meeting again because he was with Susan Lawson and her son, I decided to leave. I prepare the divorce papers and decide to leave with my daughter. I go to her school and find her homeroom teacher, Laura Anderson. "Ms. Anderson, I'd like to apply for a school transfer." She looks surprised. "Why the sudden decision to transfer?" I reply calmly, "Her dad has been working out of town, but he's finally settled down and wants us to move there." Laura sighs. "Well, that's not bad. I always thought you were a single mom." I smile. I'm not, for now. But I'll be one very soon.

Naomi Carter was meant to be a Luna. Instead, she was treated like an afterthought. Cast aside by her mate, robbed of the life she’d been destined to live, she turned her back on that world — and rebuilt herself. No pack, no bonds, no vulnerabilities. But when she enters a room crowded with powerful Alphas, her past collides with her like a storm. Logan, the powerful leader of the Midnight Pack, gives her something she thought she’d never want again — a future. And then there’s him. The mate who once broke her. Dark eyes. Sharp jawline. The ghost she thought she buried. And he’s not in the mood to apologize. He’s come here to reclaim what he thinks is still his. Naomi’s heart is a war zone, split between the possibility of something fresh and the magnetic lure of things gone by. Yet danger dives out from the shadows, and as old betrayals come back to haunt her, she understands one nightmarish truth— This time, refusing is not an option.

A few weeks before our wedding, Rodney Luther's stepmother, Jessica Flaine, posts a photo on her social media. In the photo, she's wearing the wedding dress I picked out, holding a bouquet of red roses, and shyly leaning toward Rodney, asking for a kiss. The caption reads—"Dreams fulfilled." I don't call Rodney in tears or throw a fit like I used to. I simply like the post and leave a comment. "Screenshot sent to Rodney's father." Not long after, Jessica deletes the post, and Rodney's phone call follows immediately. "Ivana, you're being so petty! The rest of my days belong to you. It's only today that I'm fulfilling a small dream of Jessica's. Hurry up and explain things to my dad! "Come on, be good. I've got a gift for you." A scoff escapes me. "Rodney, do you hear me clearly? Go explain it to your father yourself!"
