He called me his ruin. Then he made me one. 

Alpha Shiloh's rejection wasn’t just a scar—it was a betrayal. He left me shattered. Broken. And I had to rebuild myself in silence. 
I almost forgot the way his touch once burned like salvation.  

Now he’s back.  

Not to beg forgiveness. To bargain. A deadly mission, he says. He promises freedom.

But then presence ignites my wolf into a frenzy. She thrashes, desperate to claim him again. But I remember the coldness in his eyes when he exiled me. The way the pack turned their backs as I crawled into the wilderness, half-dead and wholly broken. Hate simmers hotter than desire.

Yet here I am, bargaining with the devil who shattered me. Every moment we share is a lie. He doesn’t know about the shadows I’ve fed, the truth I’ve buried.  

Or the child.  

One whisper of its existence, and the pack will paint the forest with my blood. 

But the closer we get to completing his mission, the harder it is to hide… from him, or from the part of me that still craves him.  

Freedom has a price.  

So does vengeance.  

And I’m not sure which will destroy me first.

Mira: Her Alpha, Her Ruin

So Kelly Auden wanted to be Mira's savior. Wanted to save her. From me.

Knowing damn well the offer that Kelly had just made to Mira, I waited for the asshole to have the guts to say it again to my face. He had paled several shades, but he stood and nodded his head. "You have to know that I don't mean any disrespect," he said evenly. "My father was concerned that your pack would never accept her. On some level, you must feel that too. If she can't stay here, she should have some place to go. I can protect her."

"Your father has been dead for months. What took you so damn long to get here?" I demanded as I walked up behind Mira and put a hand on her shoulder. She didn't jump, and for that, I was grateful. My wolf, furious that someone else was thinking of taking her away from me, was lashing out. My power reached to every wolf within the vicinity, but she wasn't shying away.
