On her sixth wedding anniversary, Chloe returns home with her daughter Lily and catches her husband Liam, whose memory has returned, entangled with his fated mate Maya. Instead of breaking down, Chloe takes Lily into the storm and forms a marriage contract with pureblood Alpha King Alexander, who is seeking a mate. Everyone thinks she is just an abandoned human, but during six years of marriage she built Liam’s resource, trade, and military systems. What she takes is core secrets that can shake the pack. In the contract marriage, Alexander is drawn to her courage, wisdom, and resilience. Chloe moves from using the Alpha King for revenge to truly choosing love, power, and her own life. In the end, she is no longer the wife discarded by a fated mate but a queen who makes the entire werewolf race bow.
