Marked by the Alpha: Blood Oath
I didn't choose to trespass on Alpha Ronan Vale's land. But when you're running for your life, the forest decides your path.
I thought I knew what predators looked like until he stepped from the shadows. Battle-scarred and broad, with eyes like molten gold and a voice that vibrates through bone. He didn't negotiate. He hunted me through the dark, took me down hard, and claimed me with teeth and blood.
His mark lives in my throat now, a connection that won't disappear. He's everything I should fear. Savage, uncompromising, a man who takes without asking. Yet the bond calls to something wild in me, my body singing for him even as my mind recoils.
To his pack, I'm fresh meat. Something to be tamed. But I have claws too, and I'll use them. Even when he forces me to become part of his territory. Even when the moon turns full and he swears I’ll come to him willingly.
I hate him. I crave him. And the wolf in me suspects I was always meant to be his.
