The Luna They Called a Stray

Three years ago, Seraphine was abandoned at her own mating ceremony when Dorian chose Vanessa and the heir she carried. Now she returns to his lands in plain clothes, pregnant and quietly disguised, and Dorian mistakes her for a beggar. He mocks her and offers her a nanny's job minding Vanessa's son for an omega's wages, never guessing she is the cherished Luna of the Alpha King Kaelen, the most revered mate in the werewolf world. They rip a "fake" pendant from her throat, slap her, and shatter the very gift Kaelen bled to win from a vampire coven. But when the Alpha King finally walks into the welcome banquet, the toddler in his arms breaks free and runs to Seraphine crying "Mommy." Kaelen's fury cracks the marble floor. He strips the wolves who harmed her, and Seraphine declares before the whole hall that he is her one and only mate. When Vanessa's claws come for their son, Seraphine takes the blow herself. Kaelen razes the guilty and hunts Dorian across every pack. In the quiet after, Seraphine finds a drawer of photographs Kaelen kept of her since she was fifteen, and learns this ruthless king has secretly loved and feared he was only her substitute for ten years. She holds him and tells him the truth: he was never anyone's second choice.
