Mated to the Rogue Warrior : A Fated Bond Romance #955172

He broke my heart. My fated mate put the pieces back together.
I had two weeks left until graduation when my world fell apart.
Kade Thornridge—my childhood best friend, the future Alpha I'd loved my whole life—promised we'd be together when he came back from training. I waited nine months, turning down every guy who showed interest, counting the days until he'd finally choose me.
Then he picked someone else.
A political match. A perfect Luna. Everything I wasn't.
I left Thornridge Pack with a shattered heart and one goal: become the warrior I was always meant to be. At Silvercrest Academy, the most brutal training program in the country, I'd prove I didn't need him. Didn't need anyone.
I didn't expect to find my fated mate.
Darius Blackwood is the Academy's most feared instructor. Scarred. Dangerous. Haunted by a past he won't talk about. When our wolves recognize each other during a training session, he walks away like I mean nothing.
He lost his first mate. He's not looking for a second chance.
I'm not looking for anything except to survive twelve weeks of hell and go home stronger.
But the mate bond doesn't care what we want. It pulls us together even when we're fighting to stay apart. And when he finally stops running, when he finally claims me, I discover what real love feels like.
Then my past comes back to destroy my future.
My royal bloodline—the one I never wanted—makes me a political target. The Alpha I rejected won't let me go. And the Luna who got everything I used to want will do anything to tear me and Darius apart.
Including accusing him of forcing our bond.
Now I'm fighting for more than just my certification. I'm fighting for my mate. My freedom. My right to choose my own path.
They tried to break me once. This time, I'm breaking back.
