THE BIKER ALPHA WHO BECAME MY SECOND CHANCE MATE
“You’re just like a sister to me.”
Those were the actual words that broke the camel’s back.
Not after what just happened.
Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other’s arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Maverick was a line I shouldn’t cross.
He wasn’t just anyone, he was my brother’s best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night… we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real.... so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I’m back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn’t my brother.
It’s Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
