Marked and Discarded

He rejected me in front of the whole pack.

Alpha Damien didn't just refuse the bond. He humiliated me first.

I built a life from the ashes he left behind. New pack. New name. A wall around my heart no wolf could break.

Then Damien came back.

He wants what he threw away. He follows me through territories that aren't his. He warns off every male who looks my way. He tells me the rejection was a mistake, that the bond never died, that he'll burn down anyone who tries to take my place beside him.

But I don't forgive that easily.

And he's not the only Alpha who wants me.

Nathan Cross is the most feared wolf in the northern territories. Ruthless in war. Silent in mercy. The kind of Alpha packs whisper about and never approach twice. He was supposed to be a stranger. He wasn't.

Now I stand between the wolf who threw me away and the wolf who never let me go.
One broke the bond and wants it back. One never broke it at all.

Choosing means war. Choosing means blood. And somewhere between revenge and desire, I have to decide which Alpha deserves the mark I carry.

Because this time, I choose who gets to keep me.
