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.
Alpha Grey's eyes shifted to Aurora, his gaze filled with fury and betrayal. "Aurora! Will you stand by while they do this to me? I am your father!"
Aurora met his gaze steadily, her voice quiet but filled with confidence. "You stopped being my father the day you decided power mattered more than family. The day you decided cruelty was your answer to every challenge. I've seen who you really are."
Alpha Grey's face twisted in a sneer, but his fury couldn't hide the panic that had begun to creep into his eyes.
Lucas leaned forward, his gaze unwavering. "Alpha Grey, you believed you were untouchable. You thought yourself beyond consequence. But that ends today."
Alpha Grey shot him a glare, his hands still clenching against the silver cuffs, the pain evident in his expression as the metal burned against his skin.
"This will not stand," he snarled. "I will not stand for this."
