Aurora Grey thought she could win her husband, Lucas Rossi's heart, even if it took years. For three long years, she endured his coldness, hoping that one day he would see her as more than just a convenient substitute. But when she reads the headlines announcing Lucas’s return to the city with his ex-girlfriend, Julia Mayhem, the truth hits her like a dagger—she never had a place in his heart. Lucas's affection had always belonged to Julia, and now that she’s back, Aurora knows her time is up. No longer willing to be the woman in the shadows, Aurora takes control of her fate. With a sharp resolve, she demands a divorce, choosing to reclaim her dignity rather than watch the man she loves cherish someone else. But Lucas Rossi isn’t a man who easily lets go of what he considers his. The moment Aurora steps out of his life, he realizes just how deeply she had entwined herself in his heart. Driven by a need to reclaim what he’s lost, Lucas tracks her down, determined to make her see that she belongs with him—and no one else.
As Aurora joined them, Lucas moved closer, pressing a soft kiss on her forehead.
Alpha Grey's calm demeanor made her frown in confusion.
She leaned toward Lucas, whispering, "What's going on?"
Lucas chuckled lightly, his confidence unshaken. "I told you, we'd figure it out. Alpha Grey and I had an amicable chat."
Aurora crossed her arms, unconvinced. "My father doesn't do 'amicable.' He doesn't talk to anyone he dislikes without—well, without leaving a mark. Chaos is more his style."
"True," Lucas admitted with a wry smile. "But I spoke to him like a son would. Showed him some love."
Aurora raised an eyebrow, skeptical of his smooth explanation. That look made Lucas sigh. "Fine. We had a bit of a… disagreement. A proper wolf fight. Claws, teeth, you name it. Even Victoria and Elizabeth couldn't step in. But I managed to get through to him."
Her eyes widened. "And how exactly did you 'get through to him'?"
