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 phone rang, cutting through the heavy silence of the hospital room.
It was Derek.
She answered swiftly, her voice sharp with anticipation.
"Did you find the car?" Aurora asked, already standing and gathering her things to leave.
"I tracked the plate number," Derek replied, his voice steady. "The car's current location is within Grey Pack territory... precisely at Alpha Grey's mansion."
Aurora froze, her hand tightening around the phone.
"What?" Her mind raced.
Alpha Grey? Her heart pounded harder, but she forced herself to stay calm.
"Yes," Derek confirmed. "That's where it's parked now."
Aurora's grip on the phone faltered slightly, her thoughts tumbling over one another. She glanced back at the security screen, still paused on the footage.
"I'll handle it from here, Derek." She ended the call abruptly, her focus now razor sharp.
