After serving two years in rehab for a crime he never committed, Ethan Strayon came out a changed man, ready to lead the pack he left behind. Knowing that he was the true heir and Alpha of the Strayon's pack, he knew he had to take his rightful place. While in rehab, he made unlikely allies in unexpected places, giving him connections that would later become his secret weapons to overthrow his stepbrother, who was currently running as alpha. 
After his release, nothing prepared him for the shocking truth that awaited him on the outside.
Ethan's heart was set on taking what was lawfully his—that is until he found out that the only way to regain what is rightly his, is for him to have found and marked his mate. How can he do that when he is rejected by his fated mate and now she is with his stepbrother. Would he ever find a second chance, mate? Would she accept or reject him, or will he be ghosted never to claim what is rightfully his?

The Return of The True Alpha

I washed my hands, the bloody water swirling down the drain. William handed me a napkin to dab my hands with, his expression stoic. I took a deep breath, my gaze drifting to Jenkins, who lay battered and bruised on the floor.

Jenkins coughed, wincing in pain. "Because... you're not worth it, not worth loyalty," he spat, his voice weak but defiant. "I mean.. you're using my own family to bait me!"

I frowned, feeling a surge of anger. "Why couldn't you be loyal to me like that?" I demanded, my voice rising. "I've given you a good life, a comfortable position in my household. And this is how you repay me?"
