Shunned. Betrayed. Pregnant and alone.
Everly was born an Alpha’s daughter, destined to lead until one mistake destroyed everything. Carrying the son of the notorious Blood Alpha, she was cast out, branded a rogue, and publicly shamed by the pack she once called home.
Her father abandoned her.
Her mate, Alpha Valen, denied her.
And the bond meant to protect her became a cruel curse.
But Everly refused to break.
She built a life from nothing. A business. A home. A future for her son without the pack that discarded her. She learned to survive without a mate, without protection, and without mercy.
Until Valen returns.
Now he wants everything he once rejected. A second chance. A place in his son’s life. A future Everly fought to create alone.
But Everly is no longer the girl he left behind.
She is strong. Independent. Unbreakable.
And she will not be claimed by the man who destroyed her, regardless of what fate demands.
