"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

 My fingers trembled slightly as I thought of calling my father and uncle, knowing they would be worried sick. But a call right now would only open the floodgates of emotions I wasn’t ready to face right here. 


 I’d call them when I was home, where I could breathe, where the walls wouldn’t feel like they were closing in. But every second I lingered in this pack, the past pressed down harder, threatening to pull me under. 


 A soft knock on the door made me pause. I turned to find Connor standing in the doorway, his gaze filled with an emotion I couldn’t quite place. 


 “You’re leaving,” he stated rather than asked, his voice rough with something akin to regret. 


 “I need to,” I replied, moving away from the mirror after fixing my hair. 


 Connor stepped forward, blocking my path. “Ivy, please. This is your home. You belong here. With me.”
