 
“You were mine once,” Aiden murmured, pinning her to the wall. “And you will be mine again.”
 
Alina laughed softly, even as tears burned her eyes. “You chose another woman, Aiden. Now you don’t get to touch what you abandoned.”
 

Three years of silence. Three years of cold sheets. Three years of being the "Placeholder Luna."
 
Alina knew the terms: marry the powerful Alpha Aiden, provide an heir, and disappear when the contract expired. She played her part perfectly. But when Aiden’s childhood sweetheart returns to claim her throne, the rejection isn't just a formality—it’s a betrayal that leaves Alina shattered and exiled to the pack’s dangerous fringes.
 
Then, an accident comes that almost claims her life. Instead of death, she finds a savior: a scarred rogue, hunted by every pack in the territory. Where Aiden saw a contract, this stranger sees a Queen. Where Aiden saw a wolfless Omega, he sees a mate.
 
As the Rogue’s obsession with Alina grows, so does the danger. But back at the palace, Aiden is realizing that breaking the bond didn't stop the hunger. He wants his wife back. He wants his son home.
 
But the Rogue doesn't play by pack rules, and he has no intention of letting his rescued treasure go back to the man who threw her away.
 
The Alpha wants his legacy. The Rogue wants her soul. And Alina? She’s done playing by everyone else’s rules.

"You really showed up here after trying to kill me?" Knox asked, a slow, entirely unnerving smile spreading across his pale face as he leaned back against the couch.


I crossed my arms, glaring down at him with pure coldness. "Why the hell are you smiling?"


"I'm just so fascinated by you, Emily," he murmured, his dark eyes tracking my every movement. "Fascinated by what kind of woman you truly are."


I rolled my eyes dramatically, letting out a sharp, irritated breath. "Why didn't you tell Aiden about us? I mean... you survived the paralysis. You easily could have blown my cover the second he walked into this room. Why didn't you?"


"You still don't get it, do you, Emily?" Knox chuckled softly, the sound scraping against my nerves. "I love you. And I will never, ever put you at risk. Even after you literally tried to end my life." He tilted his head, that maddening smile never leaving his lips. "I was never going to tell Aiden a single thing."
