My Alpha King husband forgot me the moment he woke from a head injury.
By sunset, he sent divorce papers.
According to Lucian Frost, marrying a woman from the wrong bloodline had been a mistake. I probably should have cried. Instead, I checked the compensation package.
A border villa. A lifetime stipend. Medical care for my brother. Permission to remarry.
After three years of surviving his obsession, his dangerous full moons, and the marks the bond left beneath silk collars, I was ready to take the money and disappear. Let the King call me a mistake. I would leave rich, free, and in search of a gentler second husband.
There was only one problem.
Lucian's mind may have forgotten me. His wolf still knew exactly who I was. And the moment I agreed to leave, it started tearing through the palace looking for its wife.
Now my almost-ex-husband refuses to sign the divorce. His wolf goes feral whenever another Alpha gets too close. His hands shake when he reaches for me. And every time he looks at my throat, I remember exactly why leaving him should be easy.
It is not.
Because the bond between us was never as broken as his memory. Because the wolf that terrified me is also the wolf that never stopped choosing me. And because the court has discovered what Lucian's wolf already knew.
I am his Anchor.
The one woman who can calm the dangerous Alpha King without letting him own her.
Too bad for them.
I already signed one set of papers this week. I am not signing away my heart, my body, or my choice.
This is a standalone dark wolf-shifter romance with an HEA (happily ever after) ending.
