Your name is Eddie, and you're the underdog everyone counted out. You never had the talent, the funding, or the support—but you've always had heart. Now, standing at the top of the Olympic ski jump, your decisions shape whether you crash in disgrace or soar as a legend.

On Thanksgiving, my husband Steven showed up with another woman—Fiona Osborne, his first love, who had Alzheimer's and only remembered him. And he said she was moving in. "Erica, I stayed away from Fiona out of duty. But I'm not wasting what time I have left without her." Happy 50th anniversary to me. No gift—just a slap-in-the-face love confession. When my own son Anton accused me of keeping Dad away from his true love, I realized after decades of sacrificing my career and identity as a top lawyer to be the perfect wife and mother, I was never enough. Now, with my daughter-in-law Maya by my side, I'm drafting divorce papers and preparing to reclaim the life I gave up—starting with retaking the bar exam. The question isn't if I still have what it takes, but how far I'll go to make them regret ever taking me for granted.

I spent five years weaving this pack's wards. But my mate, Alpha Jayden, tore that power from my hands. He gave it to her. To Chloe, the new Beta. The girl can't even conjure a simple shield. How could she ever hold the pack’s wards? I confronted Jayden, furious. He fed me a line about wanting Chloe to learn. To ease my burden. He claimed it hurt him to see me so drained, so overworked for our pack. And like a fool, I fell for it. I actually believed he cared. But on our tenth mating anniversary… On our tenth anniversary, Jayden skipped the one ceremony that mattered. The full moon ritual to forge our eternal bond. He was with Chloe. He claimed it was pack business, but I felt it. He gave her a temporary mark. A mark reserved only for a true mate. Our bond fractured. The pain was a constant, searing agony. The final straw? Jayden gave Chloe the Luna’s sacred heirloom. Right in front of me. That's when I gave up. I left. And I took my power back. The wards collapsed. When the enemy pack attacked, Jayden’s wolf nearly shattered. Only then did he cast that useless Chloe aside. He crawled back to me, fell to his knees, and begged me to return and protect him.
