You belong to me." Now, I'm a single mother on the run, sought after by many alphas who want to claim me as their own. But deep down, I know that the only alpha I belong to is the one I left behind. Will he realize that I'm his mate ? Can I forgive him for treating me like a mere tool? Only time will tell in "Alpha's Curse: Bound by Fate".
