What Happened In 'The Day The Alpha Broke'?

An Alpha in a wheelchair and a mate beaten and abused. Alpha Thaddeus was the strongest Alpha around. So fearless no one would dare cross him. But one moment changed his life forever, leaving him bound to a wheelchair. However, his wolf was unaffected, a mystery no one could explain. And so, his reputation remained strong, and so did his spirit. Until the day he finally met his mate, who cruelly rejected him. Repulsed by his legs and the fact they were both men, his spirit broke that day. Six years later, fate blessed him with a second chance mate. Someone abused and on the brink of death. Thaddeus is an Alpha with a broken body & a broken heart. Aiden has never known love, only darkness, pain & abuse. Will they be able to accept and heal each other, or will their pasts come back to destroy them?

For five years, Mabel Henson loved a man who never chose her. She endured his coldness, held his pack together in silence, and stood beside him even as he mourned the woman he truly wanted. She asked for nothing except one thing — save their daughter. But when a donor heart finally came after six months of waiting, her husband gave it to another woman's child without a second thought. He didn't answer her calls. He didn't come to the hospital. He was too busy celebrating. And when she went home to beg him, she found her own son calling another woman mummy. That night, Mabel threw divorce papers at his feet. Kyran signed them without even asking why she'd been crying. He thought she had nowhere to go. He was wrong. Two years later, she walks back through the doors of the Supreme Alpha Summit, not as the abandoned Luna everyone pitied, but as the heir to the legendary Crescent Zenith Pack. The most powerful Alpha Female the werewolf world has ever seen. And the man who once couldn't spare her five minutes? He's been on his knees ever since. But it's too late. She's the Alpha now.

Everyone in Silvercrest Pack knew Kael Thorne loved me. He loved me so much that even after betraying me, he always came back on his knees and begged me not to leave. The first betrayal was a mistake, he said. He had been drugged by a rival Alpha and spent one night with a rogue female. The second betrayal was responsibility, he said. That same rogue female was pregnant, and the Council forced him to keep the child. He held me in his arms and promised, “Once the baby is born, she’s gone. You’re still the only woman I love.” Then came the third betrayal. By then, I knew Kael would never let me leave. To him, I was not just his Luna. I was his life. I disguised the mating dissolution agreement as a simple household checklist and placed it among the daily papers he signed without reading. Kael signed it with one hand while holding Lila’s prenatal report in the other. He did not even look at the page. Seven days later, the agreement took effect. The mating bond tore apart inside his chest. And the Luna Kael Thorne had sworn he would never release had disappeared from his world forever.

I'm the strongest warrior of the Silvermoon Pack. For ten years, I've been secretly in love with my Alpha, Aiden. The only wolfless Alpha. We grew up with nothing but each other. I bled for him. I cut down his enemies and searched for a cure to awaken his wolf. He promised me a place at the top—always by his side. The fated mate bond never snapped into place for us. It didn't matter. I loved him anyway. Then I found out the truth. His heart belonged to someone else. A she-wolf named Gianna. When a rival pack kidnapped her, Aiden sent me to get her back. I did, but I died. And so did my wolf. He welcomed Gianna home with open arms, ready for their Mating Ceremony, but he refused to believe I was dead. He thought I was just jealous, hiding in a fit of rage. He even ordered my banishment. But on the night of the full moon, as the entire pack gathered for their Alpha’s ceremony, my second-in-command crashed the altar in his war truck. He walked toward Aiden, carrying my blood-soaked body. Aiden’s body trembled. He collapsed to his knees, clutching his chest in agony. "I can feel it. The mate bond…it’s breaking. Rhea was my fated mate... How can she be dead?!"

I've been mated to Alpha Damon for five years. I helped him build a business empire, but he kept delaying our marking ceremony 99 times. Right before the ceremony was supposed to happen, he told me the pack’s resources were tight. He demanded I stop the expansion of the Alpha’s manor and scrapped the nursery I’d designed for our future pups. Then he turned around and bought a thirty-million-dollar penthouse for Isabella, a new omega in our pack. When Isabella and I were in a car crash at the same time, he didn't even glance my way. He ran straight to her. He wrapped her in his Alpha scent, holding her tight. Their scents mingling was like a knife to my heart. In the pack council hall, in front of all the Elders, I looked at him with ice in my eyes. "I, Elena, reject you, Damon, as my mate." Through the gut-wrenching pain of the mate bond snapping, I sent a message to the Alpha of another pack. "I rejected him. I'll be at your Crescent Moon Pack tomorrow."

"Look how they broke their own savior," Christian murmured, his thumb wiping the blood from my eyelid. "Tell me, Amelia, how much do you want to watch the Falmouth Pack burn?" For ten long years, Amelia gave everything to the Falmouth Pack. She bled herself dry, used her brilliant mind to clear every obstacle from Adrian’s path, and nearly died giving him a male heir. All so Adrian, her childhood crush and the illegitimate son of the late Alpha, could claim his throne. But on the day of his coronation, Amelia’s dream becomes a living nightmare. Standing before the entire pack, Adrian passes over Amelia to call her childhood best friend, Lilia, as his fated mate. Worse, Amelia's own seven-year-old son, Henderson, runs to Lilia’s arms, calling her "Mama." When Amelia demands answers, she is met with cold, calculated cruelty. It was all a setup. Adrian and Lilia have been slowly poisoning Amelia for years, stripping her of her strength to transfer her rare wolf essence to Lilia. Paralyzed, broken, and violently robbed of her wolf, Amelia is brutally beaten and thrown into the mud at the pack borders to rot. But Amelia didn't die. She is found by Alpha Christian of the rival Bloodmoon Pack, a feared, powerful ruler who has been plagued by a mysterious, phantom chest pain for years. Amelia is his "heavenly mate," destined by the cosmos to share his essence. As the Falmouth Pack prepares to wage war to get her back, Christian vows to protect his fragile savior at all costs. Paralyzed but far from defeated, Amelia must rely on her sharp mind and the terrifying power of her new mate to claim her vengeance. They wanted her dead. Now, they will watch her rise from the ashes.
