Heiress Returns, Alpha's Regret 1 - Goodbye Alpha, Your Prisoner Is Now an Heiress

She was his fated mate… and his wife in name only. Every night, Damien claimed her body, while his heart belonged to another woman. Elias endured it all, playing the perfect Luna, holding together a marriage filled with desire, but no love. Then she became pregnant. She believed the child would finally soften him, that the mate bond might at last mean something. Instead, her mate personally sent her to the operating table. "Elias," he said coldly, "you and the baby—only one can survive." Her world shattered. Her love meant nothing. Her pleas meant nothing. Completely broken, Elias vanished from his world without a trace. Years later, she returned, no longer the obedient Luna he discarded, but a radiant, untouchable woman who stunned the entire pack. Only then did Damien realize what he had destroyed. He fell to his knees, desperate. "Come home, Elias." She smiled calmly. "Sorry. I'm no longer interested in mates." His eyes darkened as he stepped closer. "Then explain why you begged me to stop last night."
