The Luna Who Left at Moonrise

Sierra Whitmore learns she is carrying eight pups at the worst possible moment. Her bond with Alpha Caden has been cold for three years — distant, transactional, held together by a mating contract forced on both of them after a hotel scandal. The pack has never accepted her, and Caden barely looks her way. With a pregnancy this huge and no support, she has no idea how she will manage.

Then the rejection contract arrives. A message in Caden's voice tells her to take two hundred million dollars, sign, and never appear again. Sierra laughs. The money is exactly what she needs. She signs without hesitation, packs only her own clothes and a few old books, and leaves every gown, jewel, and luxury gift untouched in the dressing room. She collects her parents and heads straight to Savannah.

Vivian, who grew up in the Blake household and has wanted Caden for years, is the one who sent the message and bribed the beta to deliver the contract. She expects Sierra to cry and beg, which would only make Eleanor despise her more. Instead, Sierra walks out clean. When Eleanor checks the room and finds everything the pack ever gave her still there, something doesn't add up. Vivian's slip about the two hundred million only sharpens the suspicion — Sierra had no access to Caden's private accounts.

Half a year later, Caden steps off a private plane and asks for a report on everything that happened while he was overseas. What he hears stops him cold: Sierra signed the rejection papers and left with nothing but her own belongings. As the pieces of Vivian's manipulation start falling into place, regret hits fast and deep. The search for his wife begins — except she's built a quiet life by a lake in Savannah, and she is no longer the woman who once waited inside a cold estate for a mate who never showed up.
