"Y-you're In heat" "Please.. don't go. Stay..." I said, trembling. His eyes burned, I could feel the Alpha in him breaking through the cracks in his restraints. "I shouldn't be here, I should go" "But you won't," I whispered. My heat came when I was barely nineteen, crashing at my best friend’s house, alone, unclaimed, and completely unprepared. I didn’t expect the ache. The helpless need. And I didn’t expect him. Damien Veil, my best friend's father. The former Alpha who’d sworn off pack life, off mating, off everything. He was the only one with me in the house. He was drawn to my scent and our bond snapped. He was my mate and he marked me, then he vanished. No goodbye. No explanation. Just a searing bond on my neck and a hollow in my chest that never healed. He had rejected me. Two years later, I’m back in Blackthorn territory as a warrior-in-training. Tougher. Smarter. But not even close to ready for what’s waiting. Because Damien? He’s my new mentor. Cold. Distant. Pretending that night never happened. Pretending I never happened.But the bond hasn’t faded. If anything, it’s worse. Stronger, wilder, dangerous and unpredictable. And when enemies begin circling and secrets start crawling from their graves, I learn the truth: The bond between us was never supposed to form. He broke the law to save me, I shattered every rule by needing him. He’s the forbidden Alpha I can’t stop craving, I’m the little wolf he failed to resist.
