The Moon Goddess gave me a second chance at life.
But she gave one to my mate, Alpha Caiden, too.
In my first life, he chose to save me and our unborn heir.
His childhood sweetheart Doris died, and his love curdled into a resentment so cold he fed me to a starved bear.
This time, when Doris pushed me from a cliff, he made a different choice.
He left me, his pregnant mate, broken and bleeding in the cursed wilds.
“Ignore her. She's just a distraction to slow you down from reaching Doris.”
He thought I would perish.
He was wrong.
I survived, severed our bond, and patiently waited until I could shatter his world with the truth.
When his precious Doris was exposed as a murderer, he crawled back to me, his mind finally broken by regret.
“Lidia, please give me another chance. Let us start fresh.”
But I just smiled, my hand resting on the pup he thought was long dead.
“Don't be ridiculous. I will never be shackled to you again.”
