簡介:
"After Lyla Avery breaks up with her first love, Ronan Ashford, Kane Blackwood—heir to Blackwood Holdings and Alpha of the Blackstone Pack—pays her five million dollars to be his public partner for three years. Lyla and Ronan once shared a mate-bond resonance but never sealed a permanent mark. Her contract with Kane includes no Luna ceremony either.
Three years later, pregnant with Kane’s child, Lyla discovers the relationship was revenge from the start: Kane only got close to her to provoke Ronan—the man who stole Celeste, the woman Kane had intended as his Luna. He even used their intimate footage as a weapon to humiliate a rival Alpha. For the first time, Lyla questions the last three years. That same night, she is told Ronan was ambushed by rogue wolves on his way back from the border, his car plunging off a cliff. Dead.
Lyla finally decides to leave. In the end, Kane and Ronan, one after the other, knowing her silver wound hasn’t healed and she can’t shift, abandon her on a mountain road as a storm closes in—both choosing Celeste over her. The next day, all they get is news that she is presumed dead in a mudslide. The police never make a final identification, but the world already believes she is gone.
Only after losing her do the two Alphas start searching for the truth. Ronan, under the banner of revenge, pries loose both Blackwood Holdings’ assets and the Blackstone Pack’s loyalty. Kane, stripped of his company and his Alpha position, keeps chasing Lyla’s shadow.
But Lyla is not dead. Mara, a neutral healer who left the pack, saves her. Using scent suppressants to hide her identity, she takes the name Eve Morris and rebuilds an ordinary life—and a new love."
