The Alpha's Reluctant Mate - A Dark Paranormal Werewolf Romance (Broken Bonds Book 1) #988014

The bond was supposed to be a blessing. For Liorael, it was a sentence she never asked for.

Liorael spent years preparing for the moment she would find her fated mate, but she never imagined it would end in public humiliation. When her eyes met the powerful and cold Alpha’s across a crowded pack gathering, the bond snapped into place—only for him to reject her before she could even speak his name.

Alpha Kaelen is a man driven by duty and a dark past that leaves no room for the "distraction" of a mate. He believes the bond is a weakness he can’t afford, especially with rival packs encroaching on his borders. But when a mysterious sickness begins to target the pack’s females, Liorael—the only one with the rare bloodline needed to craft a cure—is forced into Kaelen's stronghold. Now, they are trapped together in a house of secrets, bound by a rejected bond that refuses to die.

As the tension between them boils over into a dangerous attraction, Liorael must decide if she can trust the man who shattered her heart to protect her life. Kaelen thought he could break the bond, but he’s finding that the more he pushes Liorael away, the more his wolf demands he claim her. In a world where loyalty is paid in blood, their refusal to accept fate might be the very thing that destroys the pack they both love.

He rejected her. Now he can’t live without her. Will they mend the bond, or let the pack fall? Read The Alpha's Reluctant Mate today.
