The Wrong Mate, The Right Alpha
They say fated mates are sacred, practically unbreakable. But Aiden wasn’t mine, and I wasn’t his. That didn’t stop me from loving him like he was the last man left in this cursed world.
He swore he didn’t need a bond to love me.
Said it was pure. Said he’d love me unconditionally.
Said he’d choose me—always.
But now he’s in our bed, moaning another woman’s name like a prayer. Wearing a forbidden pendant laced in black magic—magic strong enough to block the mate bond so I wouldn’t feel the betrayal.
Too late, Aiden. I felt it. Like a dagger slicing straight through my soul.
And just as I hit rock bottom, he shows up.
A young, enigmatic Alpha—feared, powerful, far too young for me.
Alpha Damon.
He’s asking questions about illegal mate bond magic. Magic my husband used to cheat without consequences.
Magic that ties back to a dark conspiracy. Turns out, my perfect little marriage is just the rotten tip of a magic-smuggling empire.
Damon wants my help.
Needs me close.
Says I’m the only one who knows enough to crack this wide open.
But every time he says my name, something in me stirs, something I swore was long dead.
I shouldn’t want him. I couldn't him.
He’s too young.
Too dangerous.
Too…everything.
But goddess help me—he’s the first man who’s ever looked at me like I wasn’t something broken.
Like I wasn’t disposable.
Like I was worth fighting for.
