The Alpha’s Rejected Contract Mate - Alpha’s King Shadow Ridge Pack, #1

Some wolves are born broken. I was shattered by the ones who should have protected me.

My name is Sophie, and I've been dead for five years.

Not literally. Though some days, that would've been easier.

The night fire devoured my parents, it killed my future too. Everyone blamed me. My own brother swore I set the flames. As punishment, he ripped my wolf away—locked her so deep inside me, I forgot what it felt like to be whole.

For five years, I've been a slave in my own pack. Beaten. Starved. Invisible.

I learned to keep my head down. Learned that hope was just another word for pain.

Until he walked through the door.

Alpha Alex of Shadow Ridge doesn't do mercy.

He's all brutal power wrapped in tanned skin and golden eyes that see too much. A predator in every sense of the word. He came to my pack for a treaty, nothing more.

But the second he caught my scent, something shifted. Something dangerous.

When my brother offers me as part of the deal—a throwaway wolf nobody wants—Alex accepts.

Not because he needs me.

But because he smells the lies rotting around me like a corpse.

I thought being sold to a strange Alpha would be my end. Turns out, it was my beginning.

Alex doesn't believe I killed my parents. He also doesn't believe in letting mysteries go unsolved. The more he digs into my past, the more we both realize the truth is deadlier than either of us imagined.

Someone murdered my parents and framed me for it.

Someone bound my wolf to keep me weak.

Someone wants me dead before I remember what I saw that night.

And that someone is willing to burn down every pack between here and hell to keep their secret buried.

But they didn't count on one thing:

I'm not the broken girl they left behind anymore.

My wolf is waking up. My power is rising. And I have an Alpha who'll go to war for me.

This time, I won't be the one who burns.

Enemies to lovers. Fated mates. Second chance at life. Betrayal, prophecy, and a love worth fighting—and dying—for.

Contains mature themes, steamy scenes, a possessive Alpha who doesn't share, and a heroine who refuses to stay broken.

Trigger warnings: Past abuse, violence, attempted murder, and references to trauma. HEA guaranteed.
