The Alpha's Curvy Mate
Scarlett thought losing her baby was the worst thing that could happen to her. She was wrong.
After her miscarriage, her body changed, her confidence disappeared, and her husband, Ethan, slowly stopped seeing her as the woman he once loved. Now drowning in his growing debt and trapped in a marriage that has become nothing more than a lonely arrangement, Scarlett finally asks for a divorce.
Then she meets Draven.
He is a ruthless Alpha, feared by every wolf who knows his name. The moment he sees Scarlett, his wolf recognizes her as his destined mate.
He wants to protect her. Claim her. Mark her.
Scarlett wants none of it.
She has spent years being treated like someone else's possession. She refuses to become another man's, even if fate says she belongs beside the most powerful Alpha in the supernatural world.
But when divorce leaves Scarlett with nowhere to turn, she is forced into Draven's world, where pack politics, dangerous enemies, and an ancient secret surrounding her bloodline threaten everything she knows.
Draven may be her mate.
Fate may have chosen him.
But if he wants her, he'll have to earn her choice.

Chapter: chapter 7: A Search That Found NothingScarlett didn't sleep on the couch so much as guard it, phone in hand, eviction notice and photograph laid out side by side on the coffee table like evidence at a trial only she was attending.By six in the morning she'd stopped waiting for answers from anyone and started doing what she should have done from the beginning. She typed Draven's name into her phone.Draven Ashcroft.Nothing useful loaded.No social media. No employment history. No public records, no business registration, no address, nothing that belonged to an ordinary thirty-something man living in the same city as her. She tried variations, Draven Ashcroft business. Draven Ashcroft LinkedIn. Draven Ashcroft real estate, since he clearly had money and men who watched apartments like professionals didn't drive cars like the one that had idled outside her building.Every search came back empty, like the internet has never heard of him.A man that large, that striking, that obviously wealthy, should have left some kind of d

Chapter: chapter 6: What Was InsideScarlett stared at the envelope for a full ten seconds before she made herself pick it up. Her name was written across the front in handwriting she didn't recognize, careful and slanted, the kind of penmanship that belonged to someone who took their time. No stamp, no postmark. Which meant whoever left it hadn't mailed it at all. They had stood on this exact spot, close enough to touch her door, sometime in the last few hours, while she'd been inside pouring wine and laughing with Nora like her life hadn't already changed shape. She should have called Draven or the police, but her hands were already tearing the seal, some reckless part of her needed to know before she let herself be afraid. Inside was a single photograph. It was her, standing outside the courthouse that morning, the divorce folder tucked under her arm, sunlight catching the loose strands of her hair. A photograph taken from across the street, close enough to be clear, far enough that she'd never noticed anyone watc

Chapter: chapter 5: Envelope on her doormatThe knock came a third time, and Draven still hadn't moved."You're scaring me more than whoever's out there," Scarlett whispered."Good instinct." He didn't take his eyes off the door. "Fear keeps people careful.""Move.""Scarlett.""It's my apartment." She stepped around him before he could stop her a second time, irritation cutting cleanly through the fear. She was done letting men decide what she could and couldn't handle on her own doorstep. She opened the door with her chin up and her heart hammering.A young man in a wrinkled polo shirt stood there holding a clipboard, looking far more bored than dangerous."Scarlett Reeves?""Yes.""Property management. You've got a certified notice." He held out an envelope and a pen. "Sign here."She signed with a hand that wasn't entirely steady, took the envelope, and shut the door before her brain caught up to what had just happened. Behind her, she heard Draven exhale, low and controlled, the sound of a man standing down from something.

Chapter: chapter 4: A name He knowsScarlett hung up the phone and stood in the middle of her living room, repeating the name in her head until it stopped sounding like a stranger's and started sounding like a threat. Malachi Voss. She crossed to the window. Draven was still on the sidewalk exactly where she'd left him, hands in his pockets, watching the street like he expected it to attack. She should have felt ridiculous, opening her window three stories up to yell down at a man she'd met twenty four hours ago. Instead she felt reckless in a way that was almost satisfying. "Malachi Voss," she called down. "Does that name mean anything to you. He went still. Not the ordinary stillness of a man thinking. Something deeper, a full-body freeze that lasted half a second too long before he looked up at her window, and even from three stories away she could see something had changed in his face. "Come down," he said. "Or let me up. I'm not having this conversation shouted across a parking lot." She let him up. It was,

Chapter: chapter 3: The Man In The Black CarThe car door opened before Scarlett could process what she was looking at."Inside," Draven said again, already moving her behind him with one arm, his body angling between her and the street like it was the only place he'd ever meant to stand. "Now.""Who is that?""Someone who shouldn't know you exist yet."The man who stepped out of the car was unremarkable in every way that should have made him harmless. Average height, gray suit, a face built for being forgotten. He didn't hurry. He didn't reach for anything. He simply looked at Scarlett across the street with an attention that felt like being catalogued.Then he looked at Draven, and something in his expression sharpened into recognition, quick and wary."Alpha," the man said, loud enough to carry. A strange word for a stranger to use, and Scarlett filed it away even as fear tightened her chest.Draven didn't answer him. He simply said one word, low and final. "Leave."The man's jaw worked like he wanted to argue. He didn't. He

Chapter: chapter 2: He Knows Too MuchScarlett didn't sleep. She spent the night replaying two words that weren't even words she'd heard out loud.You're going to want to remember that name.By seven in the morning she had decided the smartest thing she could do was forget it entirely. Strange men in bars said strange things. That didn't make them true, and it definitely didn't make them her problem. Her problem was the folder on her passenger seat and the lawyer's office six blocks away.She signed her half of the papers in the parking lot before she lost her nerve. Her hand shook on the last line, but she pressed the pen down hard enough to leave a groove in the paper."Done," she said to no one, and felt something crack open in her chest that was equal parts grief and relief.The lawyer's office was efficient and cold. A young paralegal took her folder, glanced at the signature, and told her Ethan had until the end of the month to file his response or the process would move forward without him."And if he doesn't respo
