I got kidnapped, forced to treat a feral lab wolf—Turns out? He’s my childhood hero.

And my mate.

Oh, and did I mention?

He refuses to claim me.

But why is he now locking us in his office?

One minute, we were interns stealing glances over coffee.

and vanished—with his baby and my pride.

Seven years, one daughter, and a whole damn business empire later—

I’m back. Not for him.

But of course, Gabriel has to show up again, playing hero like he didn’t shatter me first.

So I tossed a wad of cash at his face, told him to choke on it, and walked away in heels.

Revenge first.

Feelings can wait.

And my daughter?

She’s the twist he never saw coming
