Mated to my Ex’s Royal Lion Uncle

Dorian destroys everything when he fakes his death and walks away from the battlefield to punish his mate, Aelith. Three thousand soldiers die, and House Vael collapses in his wake. Years later, he comes back with Sable, certain Aelith will be waiting to beg. But Aelith has already rebuilt her life beside Lord Regent Caelus and their son, Ash. When Dorian and Sable turn on them, Caelus intervenes. In the end, Dorian is taken to the royal cells to face what he has done, while Aelith names her lost daughter Maren and finally lets the past go.
