Alpha King’s Rejected and Protected Breeder Mate - A Second Chance Rejected Mate wolf Shifter Romance #977290

She survived his father's sins. Now his enemy wants her dead.
Six months of peace. That's all Akira and Kael got before the nightmare came back.
When a dying messenger staggers through Blood Moon's gates at dawn, his warning is carved into his own flesh: Elara is coming. And she's not just coming for Kael—she's coming for me.
The woman who once challenged us has become something worse than we ever imagined. Cursed. Twisted. Commanding an army of the dead that grows with every pack she destroys. Four territories burned. Hundreds slaughtered. And all of it leading straight to our door.
Kael wants to lock me away. Keep me safe while he faces her alone.
I refuse.
I didn't fight my way to Luna just to hide when my pack needs me. I didn't earn these warriors' respect by running from danger. And I sure as hell didn't survive everything we've been through just to watch Kael die trying to protect me.
So when Elara's undead army crashes against our walls, I'm standing right beside him. Fighting. Bleeding. Refusing to break.
But Elara doesn't want a quick death. She wants us to suffer. Wants to rip away everything we love before she destroys us completely. And she's patient enough—powerful enough—to make it hurt.
The curse consuming her is growing stronger. The dead keep rising. Our allies are falling. And I'm running out of time to stop her before she takes the one thing I can't survive losing.
Kael.
Because some bonds are worth dying for.
