On Ivy’s wedding day to her fiancé James, Alexander, the ruthless Lycan King feared throughout the kingdom, storms in, tears her from the altar, and forces her to be his wife.
Believing Ivy responsible for his fiancée’s death, he vows to make her pay.
“You destroyed the love of my life,” he snarls. “So it’s only fair that I destroy yours.”
However, as their marriage unfolds, Ivy looks nothing like the schemer Alexander expected. Her gaze is too clear, too steady. And the harder he tries to hate her, the more his actions betray him.
When Ivy is publicly shamed at a royal banquet, Alexander is the last person she expects to defend her.
“You’re my mate, little liar,” he growls. “No one gets to hurt what’s mine but me.”
When Ivy struggles to afford her mother’s lifesaving surgery, she discovers Alexander has already covered the cost.
When Ivy learns James, whom she once trusted with all her heart, betrayed her long before their wedding ceremony, Alexander should have relished watching her break.
Instead, her enemy holds her together as she falls apart.
Alexander blames it all on the mate bond. Anything but love.
So why, when Ivy finally escapes him—when Alexander believes her dead and lost to him forever—does the monster who once ruled with an iron fist… kneel?
Three years later, when Alexander finds Ivy alive, a little boy stands beside her.
Ivy has built a life without him, and he can do nothing but wait outside her door like a supplicant awaiting mercy, begging for a single glance.
This time, Ivy is no longer a woman he can command to stay.
This time, the choice is hers.
If the Lycan King wants his Luna back, he’ll have to grovel and pray she chooses him.
