The Alpha Wants Me Back

He rejected her in front of the whole pack. Now he needs her more than ever.

Clara Whitlock walked away from Coldbrook four years ago with one bag, a busted heart, and a scar the wolf world says will never fully heal. She built a garage, a reputation, and a life in Larkspur Junction that has nothing to do with the alpha who stood in front of his pack and cast her aside. She does not need him. She has spent four years proving it.

Then a contamination crisis threatens both the pack's land and the town's water, and the only person who can fix it fast and quiet is her. Working the site puts Clara back in Caleb Ashby's orbit, close enough to smell him, close enough to remember exactly what his hands used to promise — and close enough to feel her body settle around him in a way four years of distance was supposed to have cured.

Every hour on pack land pulls the old bond tighter, even severed, even furious, even after everything he did.

Can a mate bond broken on purpose ever be trusted to heal the same way twice?
