Once Broken, Twice Claimed

Eleanor has spent five years as the mate of Alpha Amiel, a union arranged after his fated mate Sadie rejected the bond to pursue a life among humans. When Eleanor was ambushed by rogue wolves and left to die, Amiel was with Sadie instead of answering her call through the mate bond. Worse, he mated with Sadie outside the infirmary window, unaware that Eleanor's sight had quietly returned.

On their fifth anniversary, Eleanor hands Amiel a separation scroll and a sonogram of the twin pups she carried and lost. He signs without reading, too eager to answer Sadie's mindlink. As an allergic reaction to the redroot stew he served her takes hold, a stranger catches her before she falls and saves her life.

Eleanor hides her recovered sight and heightened senses, watching Amiel and Sadie while she waits for the moment to walk away for good.
