“Your freedom is not yours to bargain,” his voice was a command as he leaned in.  He traced my cheeks with a chilling gentleness, his breath breath ghosting over my skin. When his lips found my neck, his voice dropped into a whisper, smooth and terrifying. “You are mine forever. That is all you shall ever be.  A breeder.”The word broke something inside me. I was an Alpha's daughter. I had grown up believing I would one day have a pack of my own to lead. I had dreams, ambitions, and a future I had carefully imagined for myself. But in his eyes, none of that mattered. I was nothing but a womb meant to carry his heirs. He was cruel. Ruthless. A man who saw women as possessions and believed his power gave him the right to decide their fate. Yet every time he touched me, my body betrayed everything my heart screamed against. He broke me. I thought I would remain trapped in his world forever until I became pregnant with his child. That was when I knew I had to run. I buried my name, my past, and the son I had with the Lycan King.Years later I’m no longer the Alpha’s daughter he owned.  I’m an Alpha myself with a new identity. A healer. And the last person he’d ever expect to find.Until a deadly virus tears through the packs and Alpha Dean comes begging for my help.  He doesn’t know I was the woman he had once reduced to a breeder. And he certainly didn't know that the little boy I had kept hidden for years carried his blood.Going back to his territory could save thousands of lives. But it could also expose the truth I had sacrificed everything to protect. Because If he recognizes me… I’ll never escape him again.
