"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

 Who could have done this? My thoughts were all over the place, trying to solve the puzzle. 


 Lena placed the talisman on the table, her gaze meeting mine with an intensity that made the hair on my neck stand on end. “That’s what you need to find out, Alpha. Whatever this is, it didn’t attach itself to her by accident. Someone—or something—wanted this to happen.” 


 My fists clenched at my sides, anger simmering beneath the surface. “When I find out who’s responsible, they’ll regret ever setting foot close to her.” 


 Zane placed a hand on my shoulder, grounding me. “Easy, Leo. We’ll figure this out. Right now, we need to focus on your mate. She’s the key to understanding what’s going on.” 


 I nodded, though the rage in my chest refused to subside. Lena resumed her work, muttering incantations as she added the final touches to the talisman. Meanwhile, I continued pacing, my thoughts a whirlwind of worry and fury.
