The Alpha's Chosen Luna (The Watch Her Leave #5)

[ Rowan ]

The night before the bonding ceremony, I pushed open the door and found my fated mate with Isabella.

He was pressing his lips to the fresh mark on her neck — tender, unhurried, like something he’d been waiting a long time to do.

My father and stepmother asked me to step aside. To give the marriage to my stepsister.

I only asked him one question.

"Did you do this with a clear head?"

A long silence.

"Yes. Don’t blame her."

I nodded. Then I left the country.

[ Lachlan ]

I was staring at a map when Silverpine’s carefully worded request arrived — a marriage alliance inquiry.

On the map, a red circle marked a quiet lake town at the edge of nowhere.

She’d been there for two years.

I’d told myself I was patient. I was wrong. I cannot wait another second.

The letter was better timing than I deserved — considerably more civilized than my other plan.

I tossed the letter to my Beta. "Reply. Tell them we’ll talk."

She was coming home.

And when she did, I intended to make sure she ran out of reasons to leave again.
