My fated mate, Alpha Anderson, wanted to destroy me.
“The Wolfsbane poison must be precise—make sure it kills her inner wolf completely,” he whispered, believing I was unconscious.
He said this while gently tending to the burns he had orchestrated, all to make room for his other woman and their secret pup.
He kissed my forehead.
“Be brave, little one. It will be over soon.”
When I woke, I was scarred, broken, and my wolf severed from my soul.
He held my hand, ready to force his bastard child into my arms.
He thought he had turned me into a powerless Omega he could control.
He was wrong.

Faking My Death to Escape My Alpha

Anderson’s parents, Elder Torvin and Elder Maeve, glared at me with open hostility.


Rowan was sobbing uncontrollably beside them.


“Bad wolf! Bad wolf hurt Mommy! I don’t want her in our pack!”


“I want Mommy! I want my real Mommy!”


Shirley leaned weakly against Anderson, her wet clothes clinging dramatically.


“I’m sorry… I just told Rosalie I’d agreed to stand in for her at the Bonding Ceremony. I never thought she’d react like this…”


“Don’t blame her, Anderson. She’s been through so much…”


I lay awkwardly on the deck, a bitter smile twisting my scarred lips.


“Anderson, don’t I deserve an explanation? The fire, my wolf’s death, the pup—was any of it real?”


Anderson’s brow furrowed, but I caught the flash of panic in his eyes.


“What are you talking about? The fire was a tragic accident. Shirley’s just trying to help by taking your place in the ceremony.”


“She’s being kind, and you attack her? What’s happened to you, Rosalie?”
