To protect his Beta mate Mireya, Primordial Wolf-King Velen wore cursed chains and pretended to be a crippled wolf for years. Returning victorious, Mireya flaunts another Alpha’s child and demands he raise the bastard. But when she brutally wounds his old servant, Velen shatters his restraints. At the Winter Temple, as Mireya burns their contract, the Elders drop to their knees: exposing Velen as the true Emperor of all wolves. Her lover executed, her family exiled, Mireya weeps for mercy—only to be banished forever into the frozen wastelands.
