Protect Me Alpha - A Possessive Alpha Bodyguard Forced Proximity Fated Mate Wolf Shifter Paranormal Romance #975929

She never needed saving. Then the law she swore to protect became the reason someone wanted her dead.

Ottilie Veth has spent nine years as the Compact's only Bloodlaw Keeper — the one supernatural being whose touch can read the truth hidden inside ancient documents, oaths, and territorial seals. She works alone. She trusts no one. And she is very, very good at it. When she discovers a three-generation fraud buried inside a powerful Alpha's territorial records — one that would quietly erase two entire wolf communities from the map — she knows two things: the evidence is ironclad, and she won't survive long enough to present it without help.

Enter Borne Ashkori. Independent. Unaffiliated. Fourteen years of Council enforcement work and not a single contract he didn't close clean. He takes the job as her bodyguard because he owes a favor to the right person — and then she walks into the room and everything he's spent fourteen years building walls against comes down in a single moment of Recognition. His wolf knows before his mind catches up. This woman is his fated mate.

But Borne has rules. And one of them is that he doesn't let what he wants compromise what he's responsible for.

Locked inside his compound with thirteen days until the Summit, the two of them do what neither expected: they work. Side by side, in silence that doesn't require filling, in a trust that builds one precisely observed detail at a time — a cup of tea made correctly without asking, a chair moved to the right position without announcement, a secret carried carefully until the moment it belongs to the person it was always meant for. Outside the ward-sealed walls, a powerful Alpha is dismantling the law itself to bury his crimes. Inside, something quieter and far more dangerous is taking shape between a woman who has never been chosen and a man who has been counting down from forty-seven for three years, waiting to reach zero.

Protect Me, Alpha is a sweet paranormal romance featuring a fiercely competent heroine, a controlled alpha wolf bodyguard with a secret origin, fated mates slow burn, forced proximity, and a mystery built from centuries of hidden law. Perfect for fans of intelligent wolf shifter romance, bodyguard romance, and fated mates standalone novels with deep emotional payoff.
