Betrayed By My Alpha Mate
**Meanwhile…**
At his secluded cottage deep in the mountains, Dylan lay curled on the cold wooden floor, his body bare, his breath ragged.
His wolf had finally settled.
For two days, the beast had been restless, clawing at his insides, howling for their mate. He had feared the worst. That she was dead. That he had been too late.
The memory of that night was burned into his mind.
Dylan had received reports of Neotides prowling near the eastern edge of his territory. These creatures—*Bittens*—were ruthless, dangerous, and had no control over their hunger for chaos.
