The Alpha’s Heir Forbidden Mate
Mara Bell has spent six years telling herself she is just human. No wolf,bond or pack drama, just a girl who mops up blood after hockey game and pretends she does not notice the boy who never lets her forget where she stands.Then Rhett Veylor takes a hit that should have knocked him out cold, his blood hits the ice three feet from where she is standing.
Something inside her that has been asleep since she was thirteen years old opens its eyes and screams one word. Mine.
In front of the whole arena, Rhett rejects her before she can even process what just happened. He is the golden son of a murdered Alpha, next to lead his pack, and the last thing he wants is a mate who spent three years refilling his water bottles. But the second his skin touches hers, Mara sees something she was never supposed to see again. A hallway soaked in blood. A hand wearing a silver ring. The night her own father disappeared from her life for good.
Someone at Blackridge has been watching her for years. Someone wants what she saw locked away forever, and they are running out of patience.
Now Mara and Rhett are stuck together whether they like it or not,hunting the same killer, carrying the same silver ring in their nightmares, and fighting a bond neither of them asked for.Every step closer to the truth pulls them closer to each other, and every step closer to each other puts a bigger target on both their backs.
The wolf inside Mara is done staying quiet. The only question left is whether she wakes up in time to save the boy who rejected her, or whether the past finally finishes what it started seven years ago.

Chapter: The Blood Beneath BlackridgeMara Bell’s POVI call my mother’s number eleven times.Eleven times, straight to voicemail, her old recorded voice telling me to leave a message like nothing’s wrong, like some stranger didn’t just answer her phone and tell me she’s been lying to me my whole life.By the twelfth call, my hands are shaking too hard to hold the phone steady. I went to meet Rhett. I didn’t think about it, I didn’t even debate it, I just go, because right now he’s the only person who knows enough of the truth to actually help me.He did not ask questions when he sees my face. He just grabs his jacket and says, “Come with me.”He takes me to a part of the athletic building I didn’t even know existed, a security office tucked behind the equipment rooms, screens covering every wall, all of it under Veylor family control since apparently his family funds half this university’s protection systems.“Pull up anything connected to Mara Bell,” Rhett tells the tech running the room, and the guy’s fingers move fas

Chapter: What He KnewMara Bell’s POVMy hands shake so bad I nearly tear the envelope opening it. Inside is a single folded letter, the paper soft and yellowed, written in handwriting I don’t recognize but somehow feel like I should. I unfold it carefully, like it might crumble if I’m too rough with it.If you’re reading this, something has gone wrong. I believe someone inside the Alpha Council is working against my family. I don’t know who yet, but I’ve found enough to know I’m close to something dangerous. If anything happens to me—The letter stops there. Torn clean across the bottom, like someone ripped away whatever came next on purpose.My stomach twists. Someone inside the council. Someone Marcus Veylor trusted enough to sit at the same table with, plotting against him the whole time.Whoever killed him is still walking around this university.“What are you doing in here.”I nearly jumped out of my skin. Rhett’s standing in the doorway of the locker room, and he does not look happy to find me here.

Chapter: The Alpha’s OfferMara Bell’s POVBy the time I get to my first class, half the campus already knows my business.I catch it in pieces. A girl at the coffee cart whispering to her friend, both of them glancing at me like I’m a car crash they can’t look away from. Someone in the back row of my lit seminar mutters equipment girl and somebody else laughs like it’s the funniest thing they’ve heard all week.“I heard Rhett actually touched her,” a girl says behind me in the hallway, not even bothering to lower her voice. “Why would his wolf even react to that?”“Maybe it’s broken,” her friend answers, and they both laugh.I keep my face still and my spine straight and I don’t give either of them the satisfaction of a reaction. I learned a long time ago that the fastest way to end this kind of thing is to act like it doesn’t touch you at all, even when it does. Especially when it does.I make it through two classes before Coach Reyes finds me outside the gym, looking more stressed than I’ve ever seen her.“B

Chapter: The Boy I Should HateMara Bell’s POVI don’t stop walking until I’m three blocks from the arena and my lungs are burning from the cold air.My hands won’t stop shaking. I keep flexing them, opening and closing my fists, like that’s going to fix whatever just broke inside my chest back there. It doesn’t. Nothing about tonight makes sense, and my body keeps replaying the same stupid detail over and over… the second his blood hit the air and something in me sat up and paid attention like it had been waiting years for permission.I hate that. I hate that my wolf, who has ignored every single decent thing in my life for six years, decided tonight was the night to wake up. For him. Of all the people on this campus, of all the wolves at Blackridge, it had to be Rhett Veylor.The same Rhett Veylor who once told an entire cafeteria that I eat like I’m preparing for hibernation. The same one who, at Devon Marsh’s party sophomore year, pulled out a chair right as I was about to sit down, then laughed with his whole

Chapter: The CollisionMara Bell’s POV“Move your feet, Bell, not your mouth!”That’s Coach Hendricks, yelling at me from across the rink like I’m one of his players and not the girl who refills the water bottles and mops up blood when guys forget how skates work. I roll my eyes and haul the equipment bag toward the bench anyway, because arguing with him during a home game is a great way to lose a paycheck I actually need.Blackridge’s arena is packed tonight. Every seat full, students standing in the aisles, somebody’s little brother banging on the glass like it owes him money. We’re playing Ridgemont, our biggest rival, and the energy in this building could power the whole campus.Rhett Veylor is out there doing what Rhett Veylor does best, being impossible to ignore.He’s fast tonight. Faster than usual, like he’s got something to prove, which knowing him, he probably does. The crowd screams every time he touches the puck. Girls two rows up are holding up a sign with his number on it. I’ve watched him do
