The Alpha who rejected me six years ago just returned, and he's not here to apologize, he's here to claim what he threw away. Kaden Blackthorn felt the mate bond snap into place when I turned eighteen, then crushed it three days later because I wasn't "Alpha material." He chose a stronger she-wolf, left me broken and wolfless for two years, and I had to rebuild myself from nothing. Then Ryker found me working at a human diner, barely surviving. He helped me discover my hidden bloodline, awakened my dormant wolf, and made me his Luna when I was still learning I deserved to be loved. Now Kaden is back with that devastating smile and a contract I can't refuse. Within days, my mate's pack faces bankruptcy, I lose my position as healer, and we're drowning in debts to the Wolf Council we can't pay. His solution? Pretend to be his mate for three months at pack summits and territorial meetings, and he'll fix everything he destroyed. Clear our debts, restore our territory and save us from being absorbed by rival packs. I signed the contract thinking I could fake the mate bond and walk away clean. Then the affair started, and our wolves recognized each other again. Now I'm standing in a delivery room with a newborn in my arms, and I don't know which Alpha is the father. My mate, who gave me everything and awakened the wolf I thought I had lost forever or my first love, who came back and reminded me what true mate bonds feel like. But when the truth came out, I discovered they're not rivals. They're... brothers. Half-brothers who share the same father, the former Alpha King. And now I don't know if either of them ever really loved me, or if I was just the weapon they used in a war that started before I was born.
