Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby - A Fated Mates Second Chance Werewolf Romance #955164

He marked me. Claimed me. Then vanished without a word.
Four years ago, Damien Thornfield broke my heart into a million pieces. One night of passion, one life-changing mark on my shoulder, and then... nothing. No calls. No explanations. Just silence.
So I did what any strong woman would do—I moved on. Built a life. Raised our son alone.
Then he walks back in like he owns the place.
Damien hired me to plan his engagement party. To the perfect Alpha's daughter. While I'm supposed to smile and arrange flowers for his future with someone else.
I keep it professional. Until he corners me in the venue and looks at me like he wants to destroy everything I've carefully rebuilt.
Turns out, he already knows about River.
My three-year-old son with storm-gray eyes identical to his father's. The secret I've protected with everything I have. Damien's known for months. He's been watching. Waiting. Planning.
And now his father wants custody.
The only way to protect my baby? Complete the mate bond I've been running from for four years.
But can I trust the man who abandoned me once not to do it again? Can I give him my heart when he's already proven he'll choose duty over love?
Damien swears he's changed. That he'll fight his powerful Alpha father. That he'll burn down his entire world to keep us safe.
I want to believe him.
But believing almost destroyed me last time.
Now I have to decide: Do I risk everything on a second chance with my fated mate... or lose my son forever?
