A lover abandoned by the Alpha

Claire has her own territory now, a year after she left the pack of Alpha James Vane, and she has been putting together a life there that answers to nobody. James has started coming onto her land without letting himself be seen, more than once, looking for a way to make up for what he did. For five years Claire was the pack's top warrior, and at night she was James's lover, which nobody in the pack knew. Then his fated mate Isabella came back. James took Claire's rank away, gave Isabella the silver ring that had been made for Claire, and told Claire she had only ever been a convenient bed partner. Claire left the pack. Isabella wants revenge on her and is coming after her. A man named Ethan has started paying court to Claire, and he is keeping things about himself hidden, among them a crime. Claire ends up having to dig into it, with James still coming onto her land and Isabella still after her.
