Abandoned, I Took His Heir

For six years, Ilala was the invisible pillar of the Blackwood Pack—the perfect assistant, the resilient mother, and the fated mate to Damian Blackwood, the region’s youngest and most ruthless Alpha. But while Damian basked in his power and indulged in the whims of a manipulative mistress, Ilala lived in the shadows of emotional neglect, watching their six-year-old son, Leo, grow to fear the very world he was born to inherit. The breaking point arrives on a birthday forgotten, a gift that triggers a life-threatening allergy, and a public betrayal that can no longer be ignored. Ilala doesn't just resign; she severs the sacred ritual bond and tricks the distracted Alpha into signing away his rights before vanishing into the human sprawl of Seattle. Damian Blackwood thought he was untouchable, but as the silence in his villa grows deafening and the seat beside him at the Alpha’s banquet remains empty, he realizes his mistake. The hunt is on, but the woman he’s chasing is no longer his subordinate—she is a mother who has found her own strength, and she has no intention of being caught.
