Introduction
Someone speaks up for me.
"Alpha Grayson, if you're done with her, just let her go. Why humiliate her like this? She dragged you through three days and nights in a blizzard ten years ago. She froze her body half to death saving you. She can't even shift anymore."
"That rogue can barely feed himself. She'll go with him and suffer for it."
Grayson just pulls the crying Omega closer, disgust all over his face.
"She saved me because she wanted the Luna title, that's all. I'm sick of her acting like I owe her something."
"Watch. Give it a few days and she'll come crawling back, begging me on her knees to change my mind."
I don't cry. I don't beg. I unclasp the engagement necklace, drop it at his feet, and walk out with the rogue.
Three days later, Grayson will show up at the Fringe with a hundred guards to drag me back, screaming that I'm heartless.
Chapter 1
Freya's POV
Everyone thinks that after ten years engaged to Alpha Grayson, I'll end up as Frostpeak's Luna. Then one night at a gala, in front of the whole pack, he hands me over to the lowest rogue he can find.

Three days later, Grayson will show up at the Fringe with a hundred guards to drag me back, screaming that I'm heartless.
Frostpeak's monthly gala. The chandeliers are too bright, the music and perfume thick in the air.
I stand at the edge of the crowd, watching the dance floor. Grayson, Frostpeak's youngest Alpha, has Lila tucked against his chest.
The Omega has tears in her eyes, a rip torn into the hem of her designer dress.
"Grayson, don't blame Freya." Lila's voice shakes. "She just stepped on my dress by accident. I'm fine, really, it's nothing."
The more she says it, the darker Grayson's face gets. He lifts his head, gold eyes cutting through the crowd and landing on me.
"Freya. Get over here."
The room goes silent. Every eye turns to me, waiting for a show. I walk over, calm, not letting his alpha command bend my spine an inch.
"Apologize." Grayson bites the word out.
"I didn't step on her dress." I meet his eyes, no expression. "She caught her own heel on the champagne tower."
"You're still lying? Lila wouldn't hurt a fly. You think she'd make something like this up?" Grayson's voice rises, and he takes a step closer.
He gives a cold laugh. "Freya, you think this engagement gives you a free pass to do whatever you want?"
I press my lips together and say nothing.
The engagement.
Ten years ago, Grayson's father, the old Alpha, arranged it himself.
Back then, Grayson got lost in a blizzard. I was the one who dragged him through three days of it.
Saving him left me frostbitten, unable to shift ever again. Wolfless.
On his deathbed, Grayson's father tried to make it up to me by promising me the Luna position.
But to Grayson, it was always just me scheming.
"Grayson, come on." One of his friends can't stand by anymore, says it low. "Just send her off. You two grew up together, she saved your life. Doesn't that count for something?"
"Count for something?" Grayson looks like he's just heard the joke of the century.
He pulls Lila in tighter, looking at me like I'm something he wants to scrape off his shoe.
"She saved me because she wanted the Luna seat, that's it. Sick little game. Since she loves upsetting Lila so much, fine, we're done with this engagement."
He points toward the corner of the ballroom.
A tall, silent man stands there in a faded, worn-out jacket, hair a mess, wiping down a glass without looking up.
That's Kade.
A rogue the pack took in. No background, no standing, stuck doing the worst jobs nobody else wants.
"Kade. Come here." Grayson snaps his fingers.
Kade sets the glass down and walks over slowly. He doesn't look at Grayson. His dark eyes just sweep over me, once.
"Lucky you." Grayson jabs a finger at me, talking to Kade. "Starting today, she's your mate. Take her home, do whatever you want with her."
The room erupts.
I've never been humiliated like this in my life.
"Grayson, isn't this a little much..." Lila covers her mouth, but there's something sharp and pleased in her eyes.
"A little much? She's getting exactly what she deserves." Grayson snorts, smirking at his friend. "Watch. It won't be long before she's on her knees begging me to forgive her."
So this is it. Ten years of holding back, of letting things go, and this is all it gets me.
I don't want to cry, don't want to make a scene. I just reach up, unclasp the crescent pendant from my neck, and drop it on the carpet at Grayson's feet.
It's the token from our engagement.
"Fine. The engagement's off. We're even now."

Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?

A PRINCESS IN DISGUISE; BOUND TO THE ENEMY KING
I fell to my knees, the cold marble digging into my skin. I had studied for years in the flickering candlelight, memorizing every herb and poison to pass the healer's exam. I wanted freedom. I wanted to save my mother from the servant's quarters. I placed second. I thought I had won my life back.
But the King didn't give me a badge of honor. He gave me a death sentence.

"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
