MY BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE
Levrae thought she had been blessed by the moon goddess when she found out she was mates with the man she's loved since she could breathe. They made love under the moon but then she was harshly rejected by the same man.
Forced into an arranged marriage right after that, Levrae's life was turned upside down when she married Lucas. For three years, Levrae never returned.
But when her father, the alpha, was murdered, twenty-three-year-old Levrae had no choice but to return home. Back to her brother, who now led the pack, and to the man she had spent years trying to forget. To the man who once rejected her under the full moon.
Finn, her brother's best friend and bodyguard, was everything dangerous. He was a man who killed without hesitation. The man who once looked at her like she was disgusting because she was his mate.
Now the girl he had vowed to protect was a grown woman, broken, and everything he should try to resist. But he couldn't. His mistake had sent her running the first time but he would do anything to have her stay with him forever again. When the biggest betrayal had her broken into pieces, she found herself with the one person she was trying to avoid.
He’s her brother’s best friend.
Her late father’s loyal bodyguard.
And he's the one man she could never have.
But what happens when his self-control slips and he finds her more irresistible than before? What happens when their mate bond was never truly severed? When a war ignites and loyalty is being tested, their forbidden passion becomes the most dangerous secret of all. Their love could either destroy them both or save their lives.

Chapter: Chapter Four: 3 years, and I'm back again.LevraeI found Lucas in the sitting room.He had a glass of whiskey in one hand and his phone in the other, and he didn't look up when I walked in. I stood in the doorway in my long-sleeved dress — the one that covered everything that needed to stay covered — and I told him my father was dead.He took a sip of his drink. "Condolences," he said flatly."I'm going home."That made him look up. He studied me for a moment and then set his glass down slowly. "Now? Tonight?""First thing in the morning."He leaned back in his chair. "I have meetings all week. I can't be running off to your pack over a funeral."I looked at him for a long moment."I didn't ask you to come," I said.Something shifted in his expression. He wasn't used to that — me not asking, me not needing. He opened his mouth."Before I go," I said, crossing to the writing desk in the corner, "I need you to sign something."He watched me pull the folder from the drawer where I had kept it for six months. Waiting. I set it on

Chapter: Chapter Three: My father is dead?LevraeThree years.That was how long I had been living in this house, sleeping in this bed, sitting across from this man at dinner and pretending that this was a life. That was how long I had been telling myself it would get better. That Lucas would soften. That I would stop dreaming about someone else. That the mate bond sitting quietly in the center of my chest would eventually go cold and leave me alone.It never did.And Lucas never softened.I was sitting at the vanity when he came back to the room that evening. I could smell the alcohol on him from across the space. I kept my eyes on the mirror and kept brushing my hair and told myself not to say anything that would give him an opening."Still awake," he said, not as a question. I set the brush down. "Yes."He dropped into the chair near the window and looked at me with that expression I had learned to dread — the one that meant he was about to say something he had been sharpening all day. His deep brown eyes moved over me slo

Chapter: Chapter Two: I'm getting married?LevraeI didn't sleep that night.I lay on my back and stared at the ceiling and felt the mate bond pulse in my chest like a second heartbeat. It was warm, steady, and completely indifferent to the fact that the man it belonged to had walked away from me without looking back.By the time the sun came through the curtains, I had made a decision. I was going to be fine. Last night was the wine and the birthday and the moonlight doing something foolish with my emotions. I was going to get up, wash my face, go downstairs, and be completely normal.I was halfway through convincing myself when one of the house omegas knocked on my door and told me my father wanted to see me in his study.Right now.I knew from her face that it wasn't good.Father's study always smelled like old wood. Filled with documents, papers, etc, of centuries ago. He was already seated behind his desk when I walked in, hands folded, expression arranged into the particular blankness he wore when he had already made a d

Chapter: Chapter One: I was rejected by my mateLevraeI had too much to drink.Not enough to embarrass myself in front of everyone, just enough to make the world feel softer around the edges. Enough to laugh a little too loud at things that weren't even funny. Enough to forget, just for a moment, that I was eighteen years old and already being passed around like a business arrangement. Today was meant to be the day I'll get to meet my mate. The mate I've been waiting and passively preparing for all my life. My birthday party had been beautiful. Father had pulled out everything — the lights, the music, the whole pack dressed up and gathered in the great hall. But my mind wasn't at peace, underneath it was the conversation I had overheard three days ago which sends tension into my body at the thoughts of it. Father's voice was low and firm. The words "arranged marriage" and "alliance" and "Lucas Thatcher."I had smiled through every second of that party just to cover up the tension and unsettling thoughts going through my mind.Now
