A Pregnant Mate Rejected

"You just butchered your only heir, Alpha." With those words, I turned my back on the man who had publicly shredded our fated bond, leaving me to rot in the cold halls of Iron-Crag. I carried his secret in my womb, a bloodline that would either crown him king or burn his entire empire to ash, and I intended to make sure he never found out. Valerius thinks he can cast me aside and claim his throne, but he has no idea that the woman he hunted into the wilderness is no longer his submissive Luna. As his enemies circle and his obsession to reclaim me turns into a desperate, possessive madness, he is closing in fast. The scent of my blood is on the wind, and he is coming for what he thinks he owns—but he is about to realize that the most dangerous thing in this forest is a mother protecting her child from the monster who betrayed her. Now, he stands inches behind me, his Alpha presence suffocating and his eyes burning with a regret that comes far too late. Will I bow to his command and let him drag me back into his gilded cage, or will I watch him crawl in the dirt when he discovers exactly what he destroyed?
