“Burn me alive, Maeve. Hurt me. Break me! But don’t go — don’t fucking go — don’t make me live in a world where you’re not mine.”
*
Maeve was the scrawny mate Alpha Ivan never wanted. He was unfeeling. His family mocked her. His pack shamed her. And when she miscarried their child, he called her careless—then made her best friend his breeder.
 
Maeve left that night without a word. But what no one knew? She was still pregnant. A miracle from the goddess.
 
Years later, Ivan is seconds from crowning his breeder as Luna and claiming the Alpha throne… when Maeve walks into the ceremony. Not the weak girl he threw away—but the kingdom’s most famous healer, rivaled by none, with a child who looks just like him.
 
The bond he thought was dead still exists. The mate he rejected? Stronger than ever. And the heir he thought he lost? Still very much alive.
 
Now Ivan wants them back. But Maeve didn’t return for love. She came to destroy the empire that spit her out. And this time, she’s not alone. She has his greatest enemy by her side.

ALPHA’S REGRET: REJECTED, PREGNANT, AND CLAIMED BY HIS ENEMY

There were quite a few things I never thought I'd have the privilege to see. Lydia Cross being extremely terrified was one of them.

All it had taken was for me to pull out a dagger—and then dish out a half-assed threat—to get the job done.

I watched her eyes widen with fear—a reflexive reaction to the tip of my dagger pressed against the papery skin of her throat.

She tried to move away from me, but her legs were way too swollen—hindering her movements.

It gave me great pleasure to conclude that the Alpha Queen was royally screwed. A burst of excitement fluttered through my stomach at the thought.

"H-How dare you? I am y-your Luna," she stuttered, trying to hide her terror with a huff of indignation. "You would never make it past the gates if you try. Ivan would surely rip your nasty throat off."
