He Was There for Her Baby, Not Mine

Three years after Alpha Atlas Vale reclaimed Elena Hart as his mate, Elena believed she had finally found happiness. As his Luna and the mother of his unborn pup, she endured his distance, his long absences, and every excuse he gave her for protecting his late Beta’s widow, Mara. But Elena’s world shatters when she discovers that Atlas never truly sent Mara away. Mara has secretly given birth to his son, and Atlas has been spending his nights with her while preparing the child to enter the Vale bloodline. When Elena confronts him, Atlas chooses Mara and her newborn son over his pregnant mate. His betrayal goes even further when he blames Elena for an accident, strikes her, and leaves her fighting for her own life and the life of their unborn pup. This time, Elena refuses to beg for his love. After dissolving their mate bond, she gives birth to a daughter and secretly leaves the Blackwood Pack, sealing her child’s paternal identity and returning to her family in Pine Ridge. Atlas believes Elena will eventually come back to him. He is wrong. When the truth about Elena and his daughter finally comes to light, the Alpha who once thought he could never lose his mate is forced to face the consequences of every choice he made. But by then, Elena has already learned how to live without him—and the woman who once begged for his love no longer wants it. He chose her baby. She chose herself.
