Chapter 1

At the Dubois Pack's moonlight ball, I was a temporary server pouring drinks for the wolves.

I had told my six-year-old daughter Lily to stay put in the kitchen and wait for me, but she snuck out and came to my side.

Along the way, she accidentally bumped into a drunk wolf.

The wolf spilled his entire drink on me and started cursing me out.

My ex-husband, Alpha Caius, appeared and got me out of the situation.

He sighed. "Let's remarry. Lily's still young. She can't keep living like this."

I agreed without hesitation.

After we got back together, I stopped getting jealous and throwing tantrums.

Lily also stopped competing with Kitty—the daughter of Caius's childhood friend Aisling—for her father's attention.

When he stayed out all night with Aisling and her daughter, Lily and I didn't call to check on him.

When we ran into them outside, Lily and I tactfully kept our distance.

We became exactly the kind of understanding wife and daughter he always wanted.

But his eyes turned red. "Honey, why aren't you angry?"

"Lily, why won't you come close to Daddy anymore?"
