The Hockey Alpha's Hidden Mate

Her stepfather wanted to sell her through his country bar. Her mother told her to obey him. Violet ran from home with one backpack, a broken arm, bruised ribs, and nowhere to go. North Valley College was supposed to be her escape—a skating scholarship, a fresh start, and a chance to finally be free. Instead, she walked straight into Axel Hale. He was North Valley’s ruthless hockey captain, the campus bad boy everyone feared, desired, or worshipped. And unbeknownst to most people, a dangerous Alpha with a wolf barely under control. From the moment he caught Violet’s scent, his wolf wanted one thing: her. Axel had always believed love and fated mates were dangerous. He never wanted either. And he hated humans. But the more he pushed Violet away, the more fiercely his wolf demanded to protect her, and the more dangerous his obsession became. And when danger came for Violet, Axel would have to choose between the life he had always wanted and the mate he could no longer let go.
