Five Years a Counterfeit Wife

For five years Wren believed she was Rourke's true mate. She broke with her own pack and gave up everything to stand beside him before he became Alpha. Then, at their own front door, she overhears the truth: their mate certificate is a forgery. Rourke never marked her. He has been protecting Sable, his childhood love, who secretly bore his daughter — and he keeps Wren only because she has nowhere left to go. The betrayals come fast. A pup who calls Sable "Mommy." Pack whispers that Wren is barren, that she is the homewrecker. A slice of breakfast bread laced with wolfsbane, and a husband who takes the poisoner's side. So Wren stops waiting. She burns the rose garden Rourke planted at their mating, destroys every gift, signs her withdrawal, and vanishes without a word. Only after she is gone does Rourke learn what he threw away — the faked bond, the framed poisoning, the daughter who was never his. His regret is total, and far too late. Because Wren has gone home to Cassian, the Ironmoon Alpha her family once chose for her: powerful, patient, and devoted in a way Rourke never was. When Rourke crashes Cassian's Marking Ceremony to win her back, Wren finally holds up a real mate certificate — and chooses her own happiness with both hands.
