As he shares stolen moments with his aide, Luvena, Ashara is left to grapple with the weight of her loss and the realization that her life has become a cruel game of politics. How much longer can she endure being the pawn in Jareth’s quest for power?

With a heart hardened by betrayal, Ashara decides it's time to reclaim her life. As she prepares to vanish from the pack that has turned its back on her, an unexpected call offers a lifeline. Can she truly sever the ties that bind her to Jareth, or will the lingering love she once felt draw her back into the web of their complicated past?

As Ashara navigates the treacherous waters of pack politics and her own heart, the stakes rise. Will she find the strength to forge a new path, or will the shadows of her former life pull her under once more? In a world where love can be as fierce as a wolf’s bite, the question remains: what is the true cost of freedom?

The Best Anniversary Gift for My Ex-AlphaChapter 1

(Ashara’s POV)

The day I lay on the healer’s bed inside the pack infirmary, grieving the hollow silence in my womb where my five-month old pup once lived, was the same day I learned my mate, Jareth Warhowl, was bedding his personal aide, who was also the sister of his closest warrior.

I tried to tell myself it was only a nightmare born from grief, until I stood outside the door of his private study in the Alpha mansion and heard the cruel truth slip through the narrow crack.

“You said you love me,” Luvena whispered harshly. “Then why are we still hiding like this? Just reject her already.”

“I cannot do that yet,” Jareth answered, his tone cold and careful. “If I cast Ashara aside now, while she is still healing from losing the pup, my grandfather will strip me of my inheritance. I need the Alpha throne first. Once I hold the power of the pack, I will discard her and we can live freely.”

In that moment, the she wolf who loved him died together with her unborn pup.

Instead of screaming, I simply made the call that would erase me from his world.

Jareth believed he could discard me whenever it suited him.
