Chapter 1

We met when we were five, and we had our mate ceremony at twenty-five.

Damian guarded me for twenty long years.

Even though my inner wolf had never awakened, he still claimed me as his only Luna.

Everyone in the Frostveil Pack said I was his entire world.

Until I discovered the devastating truth—my inner wolf finally woke up, and the very first thing she smelled on Isabella was Damian's scent.

A scent that meant Damian had marked her.

So, the reason he refused to mark me for the past seven years wasn't "for my own good" like he had always claimed.

And the ultimate irony? When I was miscarrying our babies, he was in Isabella's bed.

He even pointed a finger at me, accusing me of framing his precious Isabella: "Evelyn, how did you become so malicious?"

I just laughed.

He asked me why I didn't explain, why I didn't fight back, why I didn't beg for mercy.

Explain what? Explain how the twins in my womb were literally killed by the sheer heartbreak he caused?

Or explain that Isabella, the girl playing weak and innocent by his side, was never his fated mate to begin with?

I didn't say a single word.

I simply vanished from his world, erasing myself as cleanly as if he had never loved me.

But Damian, why are you searching the entire world like a madman now that I'm gone?
