[Updated daily] Six years after being mated to Alpha Marcus, Elena's world shattered when Marcus' first love Sophia came back with a pup calling Marcus "Daddy". His first love stood triumphant while Elena became the outsider in her own home. For months, she had endured the whispers, the way his eyes softened whenever Sophia called. Every humiliation pushed Elena deeper into the shadows—until she felt like the intruder in her own mating. The breaking point came swift and silent. Three months out: Elena filed for pack transfer. One month out: Severance papers landed on Marcus's desk. Three days out: Her belongings vanished from their shared den. She would grant him what he wanted—freedom to claim his true love. But when Elena's scent faded from his world, something primal snapped in the Alpha. No one anticipated seeing stone-cold Marcus—eyes bloodshot, voice breaking—prostrate himself in front of the whole werewolf world: "There was never another. No affair, no illegitimate pup. I have only one mate, and she's gone. Elena... please." The powerful Alpha fell apart, begging his abandoned Luna came back.
