The Alpha's Reckoning

When Elowen Ashbourne, a quiet but strong-willed wolf born into a fading bloodline, is rejected by her fated mate on the eve of their bond, her life collapses overnight. The man she loved chose power over loyalty, trading her future for a political marriage to the daughter of the High Council's ruler.

Stripped of protection, cast out of her pack, and blamed for a betrayal she did not commit, Elowen disappears into the outer territories, determined to survive on her own.

What she does not expect is Rowan Blackthorn.

Older, feared, and untouchable, Rowan is the High Lord of the Northern Clans. A strategist, a widower, and the man every Alpha fears crossing. He is also the father-in-law of the man who ruined her life.

Their meeting is accidental. Their connection is not.

Rowan sees in Elowen something rare: quiet strength, unbroken dignity, and a fire that refuses to die. Elowen sees in him safety, authority, and a man who does not look at her as disposable.

But their growing bond threatens to tear the werewolf hierarchy apart.

And when secrets from the past resurface, Elowen must decide whether love is worth igniting a war that could destroy them both.
