Five Years of Secret Love, He Married My Best Friend

Harper has waited five years in a hidden relationship with Alpha Connor, expecting him to finally acknowledge her in a moon-vow ceremony. Instead, she learns he plans to perform that ritual with Maddie, her closest friend for over a decade. Connor insists it is merely a practical arrangement to secure medical benefits for Maddie's ailing father, but he fully inhabits the role of devoted fiancé in Maddie's home, even as Harper is pressured to serve as Maddie's maid of honor. On the day of the ceremony, Harrison, a rival from the Blackstone Pack, interrupts and reveals Connor's deceit. To protect her family from gossip, Harper declares Harrison her boyfriend, and he cooperates. As Connor regrets his choices and tries to undo his mate record with Maddie, Harper refuses to be pulled back. She walks away from both betrayals, reclaims her dignity, and moves toward a new beginning.
