Emma Hale spent three secret years tied to Blackthorn Alpha Henry Ashbourne, hoping loyalty would be enough. Instead, Selena’s return exposes the truth: Henry lets her go, takes back the Moon Emissary title she bled for, and fails to stand beside her when she needs him most. Emma cuts the bond herself and leaves Blackthorn behind. Only in Greywood Pack does Alpha Ethan Greywood give her the honor and open affection she has always deserved.
