The Alpha's Luna Was Already Dead

Three days before Mara is due to give birth, her husband Reid cuts her palm with silver and pushes her off a cliff to lure rogues away from Tessa. When the kidnappers demand ransom, Reid decides Mara staged the attack for attention and tells them to do whatever they want with her. Mara and her unborn pup die in the forest. Three days later, the patrol finds a pregnant body.

Reid sends it to the morgue without looking at the photograph. He still thinks Mara is hiding. Her ghost is standing beside him.
