His Betrayal Shattered Me, My Fury Left Him Ashen and Hollow

On the night of our fifth mating anniversary, I was five months moon-blessed with our first pup when my parents and I were ambushed at the border of our territory.

As the healers rushed me toward the Moonstone Chamber, I held onto my mate, Alpha Jareth Darkhowl’s hand with everything I had.

“Jareth…” my voice cracked, “hunt down whoever dared attack us!”

His crimson wolf eyes trembled as he bent closer. “It’s already handled,” he vowed.

But before I even woke from the healing trance, I heard him whispering beyond the curtains...speaking to his Gamma.
