Fated to the Cruel Alpha - A Rejected Mate Romance #955152

He threw me away like garbage. Now he wants me back.
I'll never forget the night Damon Ashford became mine. Under the stars, on his family's yacht, we made love and I felt our wolves connect. Fated mates. The bond every wolf dreams of.
When I woke up, he was gone. The pendant I made him—gone. Our future—destroyed.
Three days later, he looked me in the eyes and said I meant nothing. That our night together never happened.
I was eighteen. Pregnant. Alone.
So I ran.
Five years later, I'm back. And he doesn't know about the twins.
My father is dying. My old pack is falling apart. And the only person who can save them is Damon—now the most powerful Alpha in three territories.
One problem. The second he sees me, everything changes.
Those cold gray eyes turn hot. Possessive. Hungry.
He wants to know where I've been. Why I left. What I've been hiding.
I can't tell him about Kai and Luna. I can't let him find out that my six-year-old twins have his silver eyes. His Alpha power. His bloodline running through their veins.
Because Damon Ashford doesn't do things halfway. If he finds out they're his, he'll take them from me. He'll use pack law and Council rules and his endless resources to rip my babies away.
I thought I could stay hidden. I was wrong.
Someone leaked photos from the pack ceremony. Now every Alpha in the region knows about my children. About their rare abilities. About the power they carry in their blood.
Custody petitions are piling up. Wolves are circling. And Damon just figured out the truth.
My twins are his.
And the cruel Alpha who rejected me five years ago? He's done playing nice.
He wants his children. He wants me. And he'll burn down anyone who tries to stop him from claiming what's his.
The problem? I'm not that broken girl anymore.
I have power now. Dangerous power I barely understand. The kind that makes other wolves afraid. The kind that could kill with a single touch.
Damon says we're meant to be together. That our bond is unbreakable. That he never stopped loving me.
But trust isn't that simple. Not when he destroyed me once before. Not when our children are targets. Not when falling for him again could cost me everything.
They say you can't outrun fate. I'm about to find out if that's true.
