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.
Aurora's breath caught in her throat.
Her father had escaped with barely a slap on the wrist while she was exiled.
She opened her mouth to protest, but no words came out.
The Elders struck the gavel once more, signaling the end of the meeting.
Without another word, Aurora stormed out, fury burning through her veins.
As she neared the exit, Alpha Grey approached her, his smug expression unchanged.
"You must be happy," Aurora spat, her voice low but seething with bitterness.
Her gaze bore into him, every word dripping with contempt. "Happy to see your own daughter exiled for defending her child. But mark my words, Alpha Grey, the Moon Goddess will see what you've done, and she will punish you for it."
Alpha Grey's smile only widened, the mocking curve of his lips making her stomach turn.
He chuckled softly, completely unfazed by her fury.
To him, this was nothing.
