"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

 I could barely contain the satisfaction curling in my chest as I watched Ivy. She sat across from me, her usual fire dimmed to something quieter, more cautious—like a cornered animal, unsure if I was a predator or an ally. 


 Good. That was exactly where I wanted her. She was unraveling, piece by piece, and the control I’d always sought was slowly slipping into my grasp. 


 I leaned forward slightly, eyes locking on her as if to study her every movement, savoring the subtle shifts in her posture. “I don’t know how you’ve been doing this, Ivy. Keeping it all together,” I said, my voice soft, almost gentle. 


 The act was flawless, years of practice coming to light. I made her believe I cared. “Oliver’s death. Everyone of us was constantly breathing down your neck. Do you realize how strong you are?” I made my voice crack at the end for the effect and it worked like magic.
