Sold to Bastard Alpha after My Divorce!

In a world where words carry weight, a single moment changes everything. 'I, Aria Shadow Moon, formally reject you, Finn Nightfang, as my mate.' Five years. She gave her husband five years. She nearly died bringing his daughter into the world. The rejection is his answer to her sacrifice -- cold, public, and absolute. After the divorce, Aria discovers that her family has sold her to the Bastard Alpha -- a man whose reputation for cruelty makes Finn look gentle. The sale is transactional, the price is her freedom, and the Bastard Alpha's interest in her is not romantic but political. But the Bastard Alpha is not the monster his reputation suggests. Behind the cruelty is a man fighting a war within his own pack, and Aria's presence is the key to winning it. As Aria navigates her new life as the Bastard Alpha's property, she discovers that the man who bought her is slowly becoming the man who values her. The divorce that destroyed her previous life becomes the catalyst for a new one, and the woman who was sold discovers that being purchased was the beginning of her liberation.
