On the day Kael Blackwood was crowned Alpha King, he stripped his queen, Seraphina, bare and dragged her through the mud just to elevate a scheming maid to the Luna’s throne. For three agonizing years, Seraphina took the lashes, copied the scriptures, and bore the blame for the new Luna’s malicious lies. She tolerated it all for her young daughter, Elara. But when Kael forced his pregnant mate to take the fall yet again, causing her to miscarry their unborn pup in a pool of blood, the last thread of Seraphina’s love snapped. Guided by an ancient parchment system, Seraphina endured the ultimate torment to accumulate ""agony points""—all for one purpose: take her daughter to a modern world where the pack couldn't reach them. When Kael finally stumbles into the modern world, he finds a cold, radiant woman who doesn't even recognize him—and a five-year-old daughter dialing the police on her smartwatch. “Mommy, there’s a crazy stranger harassing us. Should I call the cops?”
