His Luna Returned—So I Left With His Baby”
He called me disposable. The Tribunal called me property.
They both forgot what Lunaris does to cages.
I was the Alpha’s kept woman for five years—his secret, his softness, his sin.
Then, the night his missing Luna returned, Alpha Daire Vhaloren stood on the balcony with a cigarette dangling from his fingers and told me, without even looking, “You should go”
So I did.
Obedient. Quiet. Disposable.
I left with his gifts, a deed to a house… and a secret I never planned to carry.
Three months later, headlines screamed that Daire’s empire had collapsed. Frostveil Manor sealed. Nightmoor Covenant assets set for auction. The woman he “chose” over me, Calista Dravenne, smiled for the cameras like she hadn’t just burned his world to the ground.
I tried to stay gone.
Until the High Howl Tribunal branded me a recoverable asset and announced a “live appraisal” of Lot One—the pregnant omega they swore belonged to them.
I went back for answers.
What I found wasn’t the untouchable Alpha who dismissed me.
It was a man with stubble on his jaw, a hunted kind of murder in his eyes… and a voice that made my knees weak when he said, “Why are you here, Elowen?”
Because he rejected me once.
Because he replaced me.
Because he doesn’t know the truth.
And because the bond he tried to throw away is coming for us both—along with the child he never knew I was carrying.
Now Daire wants a contract marriage to save what’s left of his pack.
I want revenge… and protection.
But when an Alpha realizes the woman he discarded is his fated mate—and the lost heir of House Lunaris—he doesn’t beg politely.
He hunts.
