For three years, Dorothy Raymond was treated like a nobody by the husband she loved. Trevor Raymond thought she was weak, poor, and lucky to be his wife. His family humiliated her. His childhood sweetheart, Vanessa Werner, framed her again and again. And when Dorothy finally overheard Trevor say she was only his wife on paper, she signed the divorce agreement and disappeared. But Dorothy was never ordinary. She is Dorothy Perry, the missing heiress of the most powerful family in the country. By the time Trevor discovers the truth, the woman he threw away has become untouchable. And she no longer wants him back.

It started with a key. A simple, harmless gesture or so he said. Christina was just his childhood best friend. The girl who "had always been there." The one he trusted. The one he couldn't turn away. And I tried. I tried to be understanding. I tried to be secure. I tried to believe that love meant trust. But how do you trust when another woman walks into your home like she belongs there? When she knows his silences better than you do? I'm not losing him in loud, obvious ways. I'm losing him in glances. In quiet moments. In the space where I used to exist. Now, we live under the same roof. Him. Me. And the girl who was "never supposed to be a problem." But the worst part? He still calls her his best friend. And I'm starting to feel like the other woman in my own marriage.

A fated bond. A missing wolf. A silence that doesn't make sense. Ember is claimed by a stranger - and then abandoned as if it never happened. But mate bonds don't lie, nor do they just fade away.
