Alice burned to death while her fated mate carried another woman clear of the flames, then woke on their wedding day reborn.
Alpha King Cedric still calls the cursed Omega a duty to the crown and keeps his protection for Victoria, but Alice will not give him a single tear.
She plans to endure his coldness, conceive the child she once lost, and vanish after she violently severs their mate bond.
Her sudden indifference drives his wolf toward madness, and the snap of that bond nearly kills him.
The hideous birthmark he never understood was a seal, and when he tracks her to a rival kingdom she has the power to bring his empire down, though Cedric would burn his own kingdom to reclaim his mate and their unborn heir.
