The Bond We Buried
I was born the Beta’s only child—raised like a son, trained like a soldier, and expected to protect my family’s legacy.
I never asked to be anyone’s mate. Especially not his.
Alpha Ethan Alaric is powerful, ruthless, and used to obedience. When his pack threatens to strip my father of his rank, Ethan offers a solution: me, as his Luna. A political match. A bond of duty.
But I’m not a prize to be claimed.
He remembers me as the girl who once beat him in a childhood spar. I remember him as the boy who never forgave me for it. Now, he wants me by his side—whether I want it or not.
We clash like fire and ice. He wants control. I crave freedom.
But the mate bond doesn’t care what we want.
As I fight to keep my heart guarded, I uncover secrets buried in the shadows—whispers of a hidden heir, a crippled child cast aside, and an alliance built on more than just blood and power.
To protect my father, I must step into the fire.
To survive, I may have to let the Alpha burn.
