The Silver Crown She Left on His Throne

Synopsis

Selene Ashford feels every pain in a room as if it were her own, and the worst pain she has ever carried belongs to the husband she was handed to like a treaty. For eight months she leaves candles outside the Alpha King's locked door, sits on cold stone through the curse nights he refuses to name, and asks nothing back. Then, on a snowed-in Friday, she stops outside the council chamber with a cup of tea in her hands and hears exactly what she is worth to him. She is gone before dawn, carrying a secret she never got to tell.
