"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

 When I stood from the bed earlier today, I felt Ivy’s warmth retreating from my side. The haunting nightmare from before gripped me tightly, but it was not enough to tear me away from Ivy’s presence, her scent lingering in the room like a drug I craved. 


 Before I snuck out of her room, I left her a note on the pillow, knowing her soft eyes would find it the moment she stirred. 


 “I’ll always be here, Ivy. My heart is yours, no matter what I become. Just a promise I’ll never break. Leo.” 


 I couldn’t help but smile as I thought of her reading it, even though the ache in my chest from the nightmares still lingered. I needed to go, needed to clear my head. With a last look at her peaceful sleeping form, I headed towards the balcony. I leapt from the ledge and landed with a soft thud, my boots kissing the pavement.
