Alpha King’s Rejected Breeder Mate and Her Revenge

He broke her heart. She survived. Now he’ll do anything to win her back.
I was nothing but a breeder. A tool. Something to be used and thrown away when I became inconvenient.
Ethan—the Alpha King, my mate, the father of my child—chose his crown over me. Over us. He stood in that council chamber and let them rip me away from everything I’d ever wanted. Let them exile me. Let me go.
I should hate him. I do hate him.
So why did I scream his name when I was giving birth to our daughter? Why does my wolf still whine for him in the dark? Why can’t I forget the way he looked at me like I was his whole world?
Three months later, I’ve built a new life in Freehaven—a settlement for wolves like me who refuse to bow to the old ways. I’ve got two hundred warriors at my back. A daughter who’s my entire world. And Rowan, the dangerous Alpha who gave me shelter when I had nowhere else to go.
I don’t need Ethan anymore.
But then he shows up at a neutral gathering and drops to his knees in front of everyone. Begs me for a chance to know our daughter. Looks at me with those broken eyes and swears he’s changed.
I want to tell him no. Want to make him hurt the way he hurt me.
But our daughter deserves to know her father. And when an old enemy threatens everything I’ve built, I’m forced to make an impossible choice:
Let Ethan burn and risk losing everything…or save the man who destroyed me and risk my heart all over again.
He says he’s changed. That he’ll choose me this time.
He better be telling the truth.
Because if he breaks me again, there won’t be a third chance.
