The Day the Contract Ended, He Lost Her Forever

A werewolf has only one fated mate in a lifetime, but Alpha Derek Thorn refuses to acknowledge his human wife, Chloe, after discovering the humiliating breeding contract she signed to marry him. For six years, he makes her endure public humiliation, lavishes affection on his assistant Camilla, and treats Chloe as nothing more than a gold digger. But Chloe has a secret of her own: a hidden clause allows either of them to terminate their mate bond if they remain childless for six years. With their contract set to expire in seven days, Chloe is finally ready to walk away forever. When Derek's cruelty costs her the one precious thing she hoped to protect, she leaves without looking back. Only then may the Alpha discover that the woman he took for granted was the one person he could never afford to lose.
