The night I killed someone was the same night the most feared Alpha found me. I didn’t mean to do it. One moment I was protecting the only person I had left, and the next, blood was on my hands and my life was over. Running into the forest was my only choice but something followed me in the dark. Something that wasn’t human. When he finally found me, his grip was firm, his voice low, and his presence overwhelming. My body reacted to him in a way I didn’t understand like I belonged to him. Like I was his, but instead of claiming me, he let me go. Years later, I find myself standing right in front of him again, stronger, no longer the weak girl he left behind, yet still tied to a bond I cannot break. Alpha Derek is everything I should hate: cold, dangerous and the one man my heart refuses to resist. But falling for him might be the biggest mistake of my life, because the truth he’s hiding could destroy me. He didn’t just walk away from me that night. He’s the reason I lost everything. And this time… I don’t know if I’ll survive loving him.
