Natalie thought the Alpha King had rescued her from rejection and given her the perfect life. Three years later, after ten miscarriages, she discovers every loss was planned by the mate who swore to protect her. The poison came from his own hands, and her unborn pups became sacrifices for the woman he truly loved. He believes keeping her as his obedient Queen is mercy. He never expects her to burn their mate bond, disappear without looking back, and leave him with a truth that destroys everything he fought to protect.
