A Broken Kitten Figurine, A Broken Unborn Pup

Tessa thought being chosen as the Alpha’s mate meant she was loved. She was wrong. When a violent shove from Zoe Blake’s daughter and the pack’s untouchable heir costs Tessa her unborn pup, her mate doesn’t grieve. He calls their child “a puddle of blood” and offers a hollow apology in its place.

Then Tessa learns the truth she was never meant to hear. Blake never wanted this pup. Long ago he promised his former Luna that Zoe would be his only heir and he only took Tessa as his mate because she was kind to his daughter, and because he was “too lazy to pick.” To protect a title, a once-sweet girl killed her own sibling, and the Alpha simply let it happen.

With her arms empty and her wolf howling in grief, Tessa finally sees the man she mated for exactly as he is. Some things, once broken, are never meant to be pieced back together. And a she-wolf with nothing left to lose is the most dangerous creature in the pack.
