A secret lover departs; the king realizes his love too late.
Valerie endured five years as Alpha King Caspian's concealed mistress in Vetherland while he lavished affection on her sister Cassia. The betrayal shattered Valerie's trust, prompting her to abandon the palace and forge an independent life. Caspian only recognized the depth of his attachment to Valerie after she vanished from his reach. He now seeks to reclaim a woman who has already begun rebuilding her existence beyond his crown, setting up a clash between royal persistence and hard-won autonomy.
