The Beta’s Unbreakable Mate
"You made me wait," Cole said, reaching for his shirt like the conversation was already over. "Clara didn't."
Roxie looked at the man who was supposed to claim her that same night and found nothing in his face worth saving.
"So this is my fault," she said.
"I'm not saying—"
"You are literally saying that."
_________________________________
Roxie Blackwood was never the pack's favourite. Too low-ranked, too grease-stained, too useful to discard but too easy to overlook.
She built their weapons. Fixed their machines. Kept her head down and waited for the one thing that was supposed to be hers, her fated mate, her way out, her proof that the Moon Goddess hadn't forgotten about her.
Then she walked through the wrong door.
One night stripped Roxie of everything. Her mate. Her rank. Her father's protection. Her pack.
Banished into rogue land with nothing but a tool roll and a mind that refused to quit, Roxie should have died before sunrise.
She didn't.
The Ironfang Pack doesn't take strays. But they've never encountered anyone like Roxie, a woman who survives not with claws and dominance, but with wire, precision, and a mechanical genius that turns a battle-hardened pack into something truly unstoppable.
Then there is Ralph, Ironfang's Beta, cursed with strength so uncontrollable his own pack keeps their distance. Ralph doesn't believe in second chances. Doesn't believe in mates. Keeps everyone at arm's length and calls it discipline.
Until Roxie came into the scene for him

"Thirty days," Alpha Damien said. “Demonstrate your value. After that — I decide."
Rihianna met his eyes. "And if I don't meet your standard?"
"You go back to the border."
She didn't flinch. Didn't beg.
She'd been disposable her whole life. She knew exactly what to do for thirty days.

Chapter: Chapter 6: Rescue The voice rolled through the trees like thunder given shape."Release the girl. Now."For a moment, nothing happened. Then one of the enforcers, the one gripping Roxie's arm hardest laughed, short and humorless, into the dark."We answer to Alpha King Magnus," he called out, voice steady despite the tremor Roxie could feel through his fingers. "Whoever you are, you don't outrank him. Back off."No answer came. Just silence, thick and waiting.The enforcer's grip tightened on Roxie's arm, dragging her a step forward. "We're not releasing anyone. Fall back into formation…"The command died in his throat.Something massive exploded out of the tree line.Roxie couldn't see it, the blindfold still smothered her vision in black but she felt it. The ground shuddered under a weight too heavy to be human, branches snapping like matchsticks, and then the screaming started.Not her screaming but the enforcers that held her captive.The first enforcer went down before he could even shout a warnin

Chapter: Chapter 5: Hunt The border road stretched out ahead of Roxie empty and silent, swallowed on both sides by dark trees that blotted out what little moonlight remained.Roxie kept walking.Her legs ached. Her feet had gone numb somewhere around the second mile, and the cold had worked its way past her jacket hours ago, settling deep into her bones. She didn't stop. Stopping meant thinking, and thinking meant remembering the sound Jaxon's hand had made against her cheek, the smug curve of Chloe's smile, her father's flat, empty voice telling her she was never Luna material.Better to keep walking. Better to let the cold numb everything else too.She'd spent her whole life being told she wasn't enough, not enough wolf, not enough daughter, not enough pack. Tonight had just made it official. Stripped of her rank, stripped of her home, stripped of the one person she'd let herself believe actually wanted her.Fine,she thought, boots crunching over gravel and frostbitten grass. I don't need any of them.It wa

Chapter: Chapter 4: Banished The words landed like a verdict from the executioner's block.She should be banished.Roxie felt the floor tilt beneath her, though she didn't move, didn't flinch, didn't give her father or the Alpha king the satisfaction of watching her break in front of them. She'd already broken once tonight, on the floor outside Jaxon's quarters. She wasn't going to do it twice.Alpha Thomas didn't hesitate. That was of the part that would stay lodged in her chest long after tonight, longer than the slap, longer than the rejection, longer than anything Jaxon or Chloe had done to her."It will be done, Your Majesty." His voice came out fast, almost eager, relief flooding his face now that he understood exactly what price would satisfy the King and save his own skin. He turned to her, and there wasn't a flicker of a father left in his expression. Just a man protecting his position, his pack, his precious bloodline growing in Chloe's stomach. "Roxie. You heard him. You're banished. Effective immediat

Chapter: Chapter 3: Judgement Roxie shoved through the office doors, blind with tears, rage, blind with the kind of grief that swallows every other sense of her.She didn't see him until she'd already jam him.Her shoulder slammed into him, he didn't move, didn't give an inch like running full speed into a stone wall dressed as a man. The impact knocked her back a step, jarring pain up her arm, and for one disoriented second all she registered was heat and size and the low, electric hum of danger pressing against her skin.She looked up.He was massive. Broader through the chest and shoulders than any wolf she'd ever seen in the pack, standing with a stillness that felt more threatening than any snarl. Dark eyes, sharp as knives, studied her with an unreadable calm. Behind him stood a wall of warriors, six of them, all dressed in black, all radiating the same coiled, silent violence.She should have been terrified.She wasn't.There was nothing left in her tonight for fear. Jaxon had taken that. Chloe had taken th

Chapter: Chapter 2: Slice twice The words hung in the air like smoke, choking every bit of breath from Roxie's lungs.I'm already carrying his baby. I'm the right mate for him.She stared at her sister's hand resting against her stomach, at the smug curve of Chloe's mouth, and felt something inside her chest crack down the middle like ice giving way."You're lying," Roxie whispered, though she already knew Chloe wasn't. Chloe never lied about things that could hurt this much. She only ever told the truth when the truth was a weapon."Am I?" Chloe tilted her head, golden hair catching the lamplight, savoring every second of Roxie's unraveling. "Did you really think a future Alpha was going to choose a wolfless little grease monkey over the mother of his heir?""Chloe." Jaxon started, but there was no real warning in it. No defense of Roxie. Just discomfort at being caught in the mess he'd made.Chloe ignored him entirely, stepping closer to Roxie, close enough that Roxie could smell the same cologne that used to ling

Chapter: Chapter 1: BrokenThe gears wouldn't stop spinning, even after Roxie shut off the workbench light.She wiped the last of the grease from her fingers, the rag doing little against the black stains embedded in her knuckles, stains that never fully came out, no matter how hard she scrubbed. Around her, the shop sat quiet: half-finished engines, a wall of hand tools she'd organized herself, the little brass bird she'd spent three nights building, its wings tucked and waiting in a cloth on the bench.Her hands were shaking because today was the Claiming Ceremony.She pressed a palm flat against her chest, willing her heart to slow down. It didn't listen. I hadn't listened to it all week.Wolfless. The word had followed her since she was twelve years old, since the night every other pack kid her age had shifted under the full moon and she'd stayed exactly as she was, two legs, no fur, no fangs. Her father had looked at her like she'd broken something precious just by existing. Alpha Thomas Blackwood didn't
