“You’ll regret this,” Aria spat, her heart breaking as she stared into the eyes of the man who once promised her the world. But Logan Vance only smiled, stepping back as he watched the light drain from her eyes.
In a world where power is everything, Aria Callahan was the Luna who was forgotten—betrayed by her own mate, cast aside like she meant nothing.
