THE HEALER HE ERASED
The night she disappeared, Eisa Greymore cut off her hair in silence. Not to hide. Not to survive. But to erase the woman he had loved.
Eisa was never meant to matter. A lowborn healer from a forgotten village, she was summoned to the capital only because a deadly fever needed hands, not status. She worked quietly, saving lives in a converted stable, until the king himself began showing up beside her. Rowan Nightmare, a ruler feared across territories, did not demand her attention. He earned it. Day after day, he worked without recognition, spoke to her like she mattered, and slowly, impossibly, became the one thing she never allowed herself to want. When the mate bond finally snapped into place, it felt inevitable. He promised her a future. A crown. A place beside him. And she believed him.
On the night he was meant to name her queen, Eisa stood waiting in a silver dress. Instead, she heard the crowd shift. Through a cracked door, she saw Rowan on the dais… with another woman at his side. Vivien Crest. Beautiful. Powerful. Pregnant.
And then she heard it.
His voice, steady and certain, naming someone else as his mate.
Eisa didn’t cry. She didn’t confront him. She walked away.
He didn’t follow. Not that night. Not for 43 days.
What Eisa didn’t know was that Rowan had been poisoned, his bond to her silenced, his choices no longer his own. By the time he uncovered the truth, she was gone. Pregnant. Alone. Rebuilding a life where no one could find her.
Until the bond awakened again… and led him straight to her.
But when he finally stood before her, ready to explain everything, Eisa said the one thing he wasn’t prepared for
She believed him
And still didn’t know if she could choose him again
