The Alpha Lycan's Scarred Mate

Two years ago, he stood before the entire pack and refused their bond. He thought rejection would keep her safe. He was wrong about everything.

Alpha Torin Vane made the coldest choice of his life the night he looked Neve Voss in the eye and refused the mate bond the moon itself had chosen. Duty over love. Strategy over the woman his soul recognized. He rode out of Thornwood territory believing distance would protect her.

He never counted on the night grief would bring him back to her door.

Now Torin is home to reclaim what he threw away — and Neve Voss is not the girl he left behind. She's the pack's healer, keeper of its ancient archive, the most capable woman in the mountains. She has spent two years building a life that doesn't need him, and she is absolutely certain she is over him.

She's also five months pregnant with his child. And the scar on her shoulder blade — the mark of a rejected bond — still burns every time he comes near.

But there's no time for the reckoning they both owe each other. Something is hunting Lycans in the northern range, dragging iron-willed wolves toward ancient blood-earth sites with a pull no shifter can resist. Three are already missing. The only person alive who holds the knowledge to stop it is the woman Torin betrayed — and Neve is a healer. She doesn't refuse the work, no matter who's asking.

As they race to unravel the secret of the pre-pack Deeproot bloodline before more wolves vanish, the careful distance between them closes inch by inch — morning by morning, in a healing archive that smells of pine and old paper and everything that never quite died.

Torin gave up his mate to protect her. Now he has to prove she was always worth more than his fear — before the thing in the mountains takes her too.

The Alpha Lycan's Scarred Mate is a standalone, dual-POV paranormal romance with a guaranteed happily-ever-after, blending a rejected mate bond, a secret pregnancy, and a slow-burn second-chance love story with a genuine supernatural mystery. Steamy, emotional, and impossible to put down. Intended for adult readers.
