Tatiana Ashford’s world was shattered the night Luca, the love of her life, was taken from her. Once a fierce and fearless warrior, she now lives in the shadow of her grief, struggling to find a place in a world that no longer feels like home. Determined to carve a future for herself and the rogues she swore to protect, she refuses to let fate dictate her heart—until she crosses paths with Ari, the formidable Gamma of Kalaloch.

Ari has always known that destiny does not make mistakes. From the moment he laid eyes on Tatiana, he knew she was his fated mate. But claiming the heart of a woman still haunted by another is not an easy battle. He chooses patience, standing steadfast at her side as an unwavering protector, a silent guardian, waiting for the day she realizes she doesn’t have to bear her pain alone.

As the threat of Vex and his war against rogues grows, Tatiana and Ari find themselves drawn together—not just by fate but by fire. Their bond deepens through battles, loss, and the responsibility of leading a fractured people. When Tatiana’s first heat strikes unexpectedly, Ari whisks her away to keep her safe from the chaos it could unleash. In the solitude of the wilderness, their passion ignites, and Tatiana is forced to confront the undeniable truth—Ari is not just her mate; he is her future.

But their challenges are far from over. The Kalaloch pack is on high alert, alliances are shifting, and war looms closer with each passing day. As Tatiana grapples with the weight of her past and the pull of her fated bond, she must decide if she is ready to fully embrace the love that destiny has offered her.

With war on the horizon and a pack to protect, Tatiana and Ari’s connection will be tested like never before. Will she finally allow herself to love again, or will the ghosts of her past keep her from the mate who is willing to fight for her?

Bound to the Gamma is a gripping tale of love, loss, and second chances.

Tatiana stirred, her eyelids fluttering open to the sterile light of the clinic. The steady hum of machines filled the quiet room, and the faint tug of an IV in her arm snapped her back to reality. 


Turning slightly, she saw Luca sitting beside her bed, his large hand wrapped around hers. 


The tension in his posture was unmistakable—his broad shoulders were hunched, his head bowed, and his free hand clenched into a fist on his knee. When her fingers weakly squeezed him, he looked up, his amber eyes swimming with regret and worry. 


“You’re awake,” he breathed, relief washing over his features. “You passed out… dehydration and exhaustion.” His voice cracked slightly as he looked away, his jaw tightening. “I pushed you too far.” 


“Luca,” Tia began, her voice hoarse, but he shook his head.
