The Queen Left After Alpha’s Betrayal
For ten years, I spent by Damien Thorne's side, helping him transform from a servant's son into the powerful Alpha of Shadow Pack.
I believed I would eventually see the day he'd claim me as his mate. Instead, he brought home Scarlett Rivers, his childhood sweetheart who had been living abroad, treating her like precious royalty while making her his Luna.
To help his beloved Scarlett and free her parents from prison, Damien handed over my healing potion patents without hesitation.
Even my own son was placed in Scarlett's care to secure her position as Shadow Pack's Luna.
I became everything to Damien—his financial backer, his assistant, his healer, his bed partner—everything except what I truly wanted to be: his rightful mate.
"Just wait a little longer," Damien always promised me. "Once I repay my debt to my childhood benefactor, you'll be my only mate."
So, I kept waiting and waiting. But Damien seemed to forget his promises entirely. Even my own child began to despise me.
Suddenly, exhaustion hit me like a tidal wave. Waiting felt pointless. I didn't want to do it anymore.
