A Mate He Could Never Deserve

For five years, I made myself smaller to fit into Lucien Moreau's wolf world, believing our engagement meant he had chosen me. Then my mother was attacked by the unstable Wolfguard belonging to his mistress, Brielle. While I begged Lucien to come home, he stayed on vacation with her-and my mother died alone in the hospital. That night, I finally called the father I had avoided for fifteen years: Vincent Carver, the Alpha King no one in New York dared to cross. I was done being the obedient woman Lucien could control. I tore off my engagement ring, erased Lucien and his family from my life, and buried my mother without him. Even then, he kept defending Brielle instead of facing what he had done. Then I found an old veterinary bill. Brielle's Wolfguard had attacked before, and Lucien's signature was on the record. He had known the creature was dangerous-and helped keep it quiet.
