A Fate Neither Claimed

He thought he was doing her a favor.
Renault was the most powerful Alpha in Crescentia. Humans didn't belong in his world. But when Eve walked into his life, something in his wolf recognized her — so he buried it, and offered her the only thing he thought she deserved: his bed, not his name.
She said yes. She smiled. She never asked for more.
What he didn't know was that she wasn't staying for him.
She was staying for the way he looked like someone she'd lost. A boy who died for her. A ghost she loved more than any living man.
Renault was just a face that reminded her of the dead.
Until he started falling — and by then, she was already turning to leave.
And then something old and dangerous began to wake inside her. Something that made every wolf in the room go quiet. Something none of them were ready for.
He thought he was the one holding back. He didn't know she'd never chosen him either.
