"Tell me you’re mine."

"And if I don’t?"

"Then I’ll make you say it." 

Ivy Blackwood thought she had outrun her past. She built a new life, buried the pain, and swore never to let another Alpha break her. But when the ruthless Alpha King, Leo Ashton, sets his sights on her, resisting him becomes impossible. He’s dominant, possessive, and everything she should run from—but the way he touches her makes her crave more.  

Just as she begins to surrender, the mate who once rejected her returns, determined to claim what he threw away. Now, Ivy is trapped between two powerful Alphas—one who shattered her and one who could own her.  

But Ivy isn’t the weak girl they remember. She’s done being a prize to be fought over. This time, she’ll make the rules.

Stuck Between Two Alphas

 The garden was quiet, save for the distant hum of crickets. I should’ve been back at the pack house hours ago, but I couldn’t bring myself to leave—not while she was so close. Definitely not while I burned with the desire to touch her. 


 The memory of our first meeting after so many years burned brighter than anything else in my mind. Even after days and weeks have gone by, I couldn’t discard it. The way my wolf—Theo had howled for joy in the corner of my mind and the guilt that threatened to destroy me. 


 The moment I saw her, clinging to that bastard, I felt a spark in a world that felt dull and lifeless to me since I discovered she might be dead. A single look, and I was lost. 


 When I first discovered that she was my mate,Theo, had claimed her the moment her scent hit me—a mix of lavender and rain, intoxicating and impossible to forget. But I couldn’t accept her and now, I burn with regret.
