LOGINShe was broken. He made her whole. But her past won't stay buried. Sera Hartley was rejected on her eighteenth birthday—humiliated in front of her entire pack by the one man fated to love her. Cade Storm, the future Alpha, looked at her wolfless body and declared her too weak to be his Luna. Shattered and desperate, Sera ran. For three years, she built a quiet life among humans, burying the mate bond that still claws at her chest, working in a small-town diner where no one knows her shame. Then he walks in. Conrad Hawthorn. Ancient. Powerful. Dangerous. An Alpha whose presence makes her knees weak and her pulse race. He claims she's his mate—but that's impossible. The Moon Goddess doesn't grant second chances to the wolfless and broken. Conrad doesn't care what's impossible. He pursues her with a hunger that sets her skin on fire, protects her from threats she doesn't see coming, and looks at her like she's the only thing in his world that matters. When his lips finally claim hers, when his hands map every curve of her trembling body, Sera feels something she thought she'd never have Wanted. Desired. Whole. But the past has holes. And when Sera's wolf finally emerges powerful, Alpha-born, magnificent. Her old pack comes crawling back. Cade wants what he threw away. Her real father demands she take her rightful place. And Conrad? He'll burn the world down before he lets anyone take his mate. Two Alphas. One woman. A bond that defies the laws of their kind. But when her wolf awakens, will Sera discover she was never the weak one at all?
View MoreSera’s POV:Normal flew out the window the second the Alpha walked back through those doors the next morning.I was wiping down table three when the bell chimed and my whole body just... stopped. Like someone cut the strings holding me up. The rag slipped from my fingers and hit the floor with a wet slap that felt too loud in my ears.He was back.And he sat down at one of my tables again. Not the same one as yesterday... no, he picked a different table, but still in my section. Still where I'd have to face him.My chest went tight. I couldn't breathe right."Ser, honey, you dropped your rag," Mrs. Judith called from behind the counter.I bent down and grabbed it, my hands shaking so bad I nearly dropped it again. Get it together. Just... get it together.I had to make someone else take his table. Had to. There was no way I could walk over there and pretend everything was fine when my wolf... or whatever was inside me... was screaming at me to run.One of the new girls Mrs. Judith hire
Three Years Later:Sera’s POV:The box of plates landed solid on the shelf and I stepped back to admire the neat arrangement, feeling that small burst of satisfaction that came from finishing a task well."Look at you, making my stockroom look like something out of a magazine." Mrs. Judith's sister appeared in the doorway with a warm smile. "There's a blueberry danish waiting for you on the counter, fresh out of the oven.""You spoil me." I grabbed the pastry and took a bite, the buttery sweetness melting on my tongue. Three years of these mornings and I still wasn't used to how good her baking was."Someone has to, and lord knows you won't spoil yourself." She poured coffee into a to-go cup. "You drive out to Ridgemont yesterday?""Yeah, just wanted to enjoy the fresh air." The lie came easy after three years of practice. I'd driven two hours south yesterday just to mail Mom's birthday card from a different town, with no return address and a postmark that would lead them nowhere clos
Sera’s POV:The guard booth came up fast, yellow light spilling across the road. I gripped the steering wheel tighter and tried to make my face look normal even though my eyes were swollen and my throat felt raw from crying.He leaned out of the booth window and waved me through without even looking twice. No questions. No mindlink to the Alpha. Just a wave like I was going to get groceries and would be back in an hour.I pressed the gas and the pack border passed beneath my tires and I waited for it, that pull in my chest that happened every time I left pack territory, but instead something loosened. The pressure that had been sitting on my ribs for days lifted and I could breathe deeper than I had since Cade's face twisted with disappointment under the firelight.The highway stretched empty in front of me and I drove.Three hours later I pulled into the bank parking lot in the nearest human town. My hands shook when I filled out the withdrawal slips, when I closed the savings accoun
Sera’s POV:Mom got up and I heard her walk to the door, heard it open and then Luna Skye's voice drifted up the stairs soft and careful."Samantha, I made some tea. How is she doing?""Thank you but I'm fine." Mom's voice had an edge to it I'd never heard before, sharp and cold. "She's holding strong.""I was hoping to sit with her for a while, to see if I could be of help or comfort.""I don't think that's a good idea. Sera needs her family right now.""Samantha." Luna Skye's voice went high and tight. "I'd like to think of myself as family. We've been close since we mated with Kieran and John.""I would have said the same yesterday but after what your son did to my baby I think we need to rethink certain things. I need to protect Sera and we both know the pack won't protect her the way they would someone who wasn't rejected by the future Alpha. The least I can do is make sure she's around the right people.""I love her like a daughter.""But not enough to fight for her. Skye, you a
