Rejected By My Billionaire Alpha Stepbrother - A Fated Mates Secret Baby Shifter Romance #974034

 He threw me away like I was nothing. Now I own the one thing he can't live without.

I didn't even know his name when I fell for him.
One night. One stranger.
Golden eyes. Strong hands. A scent like cedar smoke and rain that I still dream about five years later.
I thought it was a mistake I could leave behind.
I was wrong.
Because the man who made me feel everything that night?
He turned out to be my new stepbrother.

Damien Wolfe.

Billionaire. Alpha. The most powerful wolf in the country.
And the man who stood in front of his entire pack the very next morning and called me a liar.
A gold-digger.
A girl who would do anything to climb the pack ladder.
He said it loud.
He made sure everyone heard.
Then he turned his back and walked away.
So I ran.
New city. New name. New life built from scratch with nothing but two hands and a heart that refused to give up.
Nobody knew where I went.
Nobody knew what I was carrying when I left.
His baby.
A little boy with golden eyes exactly like his father's. A little boy who laughed loud and ran fast and had no idea his whole existence was a secret.
I kept it that way.
For five years, I was invisible.
I told myself that was enough.
I almost believed it.

Then fate walked into my office.
I am the VP of Apex Holdings now.
I earned that title. Nobody gave it to me.
And the contract sitting on my desk this morning?
His name is on every single page.
Damien Wolfe needs my firm to save his empire from a rival pack that has been quietly strangling his business for two years.
He needs me.
He just doesn't know it yet.
When he walks through my office door — jaw hard, eyes gold, that familiar scent hitting me like a fist to the chest — I make myself breathe.
He doesn't recognize me at first.
I made sure of that.
But the moment he does — the moment those amber eyes find my face and something deep and old shifts inside them — I watch the mighty Alpha go completely still.
Good.
Let him stand there.
Let him feel what it means to want something he cannot just take.
Because this time, I hold the contract.
This time I set the terms.
This time —
I bite.

But nothing is as simple as it looks.
Damien did not build a billion-dollar empire by accepting terms he did not write himself.
And the mate bond still burning under my skin?
It does not care about my five years of anger.
It does not care about what he did to me.
It just wants — quiet and deep and impossible to shut off — every single time he gets too close.
There is a little boy at home with his father's eyes who has started asking questions I cannot answer.
There is a rival pack moving against Damien's territory like wolves circling a wounded animal.
There is a secret buried inside the Wolfe family that is worse than anything Damien did to me.
And there is a villain who has been pulling strings for ten years — someone close, someone trusted, someone who destroyed us both before we even had a chance.
When the truth finally comes out?
Everything breaks.

This is not the story of a woman who got her revenge.
This is the story of a woman who rebuilt herself from nothing, walked back into the room that destroyed her, put the truth on the table in front of everyone —
And chose, on her own terms, what came next.
